[Pansophy] Bold vs Unbold

[Allen Samuels]

So new question, I tried turning the backgrounds of the cells on the side of the homepage into a dark grey. It looks nice, but I do have some concerns. When I showed it to Matt he said it drew his eyes to the center of the page with the latest test results. Is this something we want to happen? Part of the purpose of the homepage revamp is to draw the eyes to what is important. Maybe it's because I'm a document coordinator and not an engineer, but I'm not sure the latest test results are what we want all our focus pushed into. If it's not, I might try leaving the sides white and make the center grey, or reverting to the previous white color. Below is a screenshot to explain what I'm looking at.

Yes, stick to the color scheme already designated for pansophy.
Green, Blue, Gray

But light shades may be okay.
And yes, please look at w3schools and see what you find.

Not a bad idea, but adding an additional color might conflict with other colors, be it clash or blend too well. I know the basics of color theory, but not the in-depths. Plus I kind of like the color scheme we have going right now.

I remember in W3 Schools learning about a "hoverable table" where resting your cursor over a cell would cause it to change color. If I can get that implemented on select cells, maybe that would work with a nice grey (like the background color of "Welcome to Pansophy". This is what I'm referring to by the way. https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_table_hover

Bold is fine.
You could also look into using "colors" behind text/areas to make them stand out.

Emailing instead of texting so I don't interrupt the flow of conversation. What are your thoughts on bolding the headers of the pansophy homepage? Bold makes it stand out more, but I'm also getting a bit of aggressive feel on it. Maybe I'm just overanalyzing a super small thing, but I figured I'd ask.
