Ah yes, that makes sense, depending on what page you are clicking next.

On my screen it looks fine without burning my eyes.

The login page (https://www.michael.dev.ipfire.org/login) and the error pages use the colour for the entire screen and feels alright to me. Definitely a statement, but that is kind of what I was going for.
