Does anyone remember how to bring back the old forum color?

I accidentally all my browser settings and now the forum is blue again. I know there was a way to enable the old tan background, but I can't for the life of me remember how. Can anyone help? :)

    They changed the forums a few months back. (March 2015 ish)
    They also changed the mobile site....I was unaware that you could ever change the colors after the forum update.

    Yes, I know when it was changed. There was a way to change it back - not an official forum option, a Stylish theme maybe, I really don't remember. I was hoping someone else was using it too.

    Nevermind, I dug through the old threads and found it. The new overlay can be blocked with AdBlock (filter out: esossl-a.akamaihd.net/secure/css/forum-reskin.css).

    Ended up using the Color That Site add on for Firefox to set the forums to an easy-on-the-eyes grey colour scheme personally.

    Chrome Styles has one for this site? I've called myself looking for one for weeks.

    This off white is killing me. I desperately need a black background with white text.

    Words contained in posts, at which point I stop reading and will not respond...
    Toon / Mana / WoW or any acronym following "In ___" /
    Pets (when referring to summoned Daedra) / Any verbiage to express slang (ie, ending in uz,az,..) / Soul Stone
    ... to be continued.

    Now, get off my lawn.

    For Google Chrome, try "Invert Page Colors" extension.

    Easier on the eyes imo.

    Fantastic! An easy and acceptable workaround until either someone makes a Stylish or an official forum setting.

    I'm so used to the original version I don't feel motivated to fiddle with custom colors, but I'm glad there are so many options. :) My gripe with the new layout isn't so much the blue as the white columns on the sides. Way too bright. That's why I like using mobile so much, no wasted space! Well, not entirely, the avatar stripe still has a fair amount of blank space.

    Thanks for this thread, finally I'm not blinded anymore from reading here in the forums :) I changed it the way @Samadhi posted (FF addon "Colour That Side"), now it's dark grey with light grey text, just how I like it. I couldn't find anything on "Stylish", but I'm using it for Google, YT, Flickr, and what not. I need my dark grey^^
