| yellow or white with a 1px black outline I hate colorful ones. or the animated ones during songs op end etc.... |
| Sorry to dig this up but I prefer YELLOW subtitles in Tahoma bold with a thick black outline. If I can't read the fucking things then what good are they? |

| Don't know anything other than white, but yellow is awful that much I know. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| I don't really care. I can understand 95%+ from hearing, so I only look at subs if there's something I'm not sure about. I also dislike reading subs all the time, since I tend to notice how shitty a lot of the translators are. |
| This topic is quite timely for me. I used to dislike subtitles with colors as it feels like it's ruining the intended color palette of some shows. But now that my eyes are slowly going bad, and white subtitles are beginning to be hard for me to read as it feels like it's blending with any colors and often looks watery, I'm now trying out different colors not just for the text itself but the outlines too. I noticed that CR sometimes uses dark blue outlines on white text which works for me. But sometimes, yellow text with black outlines works as well. But I'd choose a lighter yellow if there's an option, and sometimes lower text opacity so it somewhat feels like it blends with the show. |

| I'm used to white subs, but one of my friends prefers blue subtitles with a white outline which is... seems weird to me, to say the least... It's just a matter of habit, I guess. |
| Both white, yellow, and whatever other kind of subtitle I've seen don't really matter too much to me. The colours of subtitles don't really affect my viewing experience all too much. |
 |
| I prefer white with a black outline but I never really had a problem with the yellow subtitles that there used to be a lot of in the past also. As long as the yellow color wasn't too blinding...which sometimes it was with the older fansubs. |

| I prefer white the most. It stands out well, making the subs easy to read, and also white is not too distracting. |
| I think different fonts and font colours can impact my experience. I'd consider white with a black border to be the 'normal' style which has no impact, but yellow with a black border can look out of place on newer anime while it can also add a bit of charm to older shows. Probably the best subtitles I've seen are on the original Sailor Moon seasons where each line is colour-coded with the speaker. |

| yellow subs ar eobjectively the best ones and its insane how some people hate them. shame on you, people. |
| :v |
| White is easy to see, does not merge in the background and looks presentable |
| White is normal. In a movie I like yellow too. On the pages that upload chapters to watch for free, many change the colors depending on the hair color of the character speaking. |

LaLeLuLiLo said: don't care as long as they are easy to read and somehow doesn't bother me when watching the show Same here as I gotten used to fansub style use of fonts and colors since before legal streaming/simulcast started or so. |
| I think yellow subs are usually easier to read. But yellow is an ugly color and white's tendency to sometimes blend into the background is not a huge problem so thats what I have my video player's defaults set to. |
 |
| I think I actually prefer yellow to white, as much as some might find it off putting. I haven't watched anime in a bit, but I have read subtitles pretty recently playing the newest Like a Dragon/Yakuza game in Japanese, because playing in English after so many games would feel weird. There were some parts, for me at least, where the white subtitles were hard to see due to a characters clothes or the background. A different color could have easily fixed that issue, but white is the standard. |
| Yellow is my favorite color but I prefer white subs. Still, I always get some nostalgic vibes every time I see yellow subs. |
 |
| Like I said before-fuck white subs! Yellow forever. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| As much as I don't want it to impact me, it does a bit. Yellow subs, or subs with absolutely terrible font choices and strokes make it more frustrating to watch for sure. Just colors that are not too strong on my eyes are appreciated. Not too sure why some anime in the past had yellow-colored subtitles instead of white. |
| White supremecy, other coloured subs should face discrimination. |
 -Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind. |
| I choose "mixed" in the survey, but to be honest I don't have a preferences but it depends on the anime or the live-action foreign-language films/TV dramas. For an older anime like something from the 80's or 70's, yellow would be preferable. For recent anime, white would work for me (although I don't mind yellow). I can say the same for my live-action TV dramas I've watched where English is not the primary language like Korean dramas, Chinese dramas, Taiwanese dramas, etc... Also, when a OST song (if it's Japanese, Korean, etc...) is playing in the background with a subtitles that translate the songs lyrics, I would prefer a different color subtitles like blue to help me indicate that. So yeah, my subtitles color preference tends to varies for me. |
| I don't care, I convert them all to an external .srt so my PVR can read the file. They are white but with a tiny border which can make it hard to read. I use light yellow with a black border on my other devices as it stands out more on certain scenes. |
 |
| I don't see them nearly as much as I used to but I prefer yellow, I grew up on anime DVD's, most of them used yellow subs so I'm kinda just used to it. White subs have never really sat right with me, so I love it when certain fansubs have multicolored and stylized subs varying between characters, plan white is just... bweh |
| Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion... |
| It's not the color that bothers me but the outline color, some, especially some fansubbers use a LOT of styles with different outline colors and that annoys me to no end but still not as much as typesetting, I HATE typesetting with PASSION, I can't stand text appearing all over screen and/or covering/hiding the original text, especially when unnecessary to the point I may stop watching something, open up Aegisub and fix the subtitles up myself, or just do it pre-watching anything and spoil myself but at least I end up having a peace of mind as I watch after that, but thankfully most what I watch have official subs where I rarely find all that so I just replace the necessary styles with my preferred custom ones really quickly without spoiling anything to myself and enjoy whatever I'm watching afterwards! I also can't stand a lot of fonts used or the way they're used or the BIG sizes some may use for one reason or another or the THICK outlines. Yellow subtitles hardly exists nowadays save for old stuff but it doesn't bother me. |

| WHITE SUPREMACY!!! WHITE IS THE BEST COLOUR!!!! ONLY WHITE IS REAL!!!!! OTHER'S SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM EXISTENCE!!! |
| I prefer white subtitles because of the neutrality of white as a colour, but it's not a big deal. If anything, font is more important to me than subtitle colour. A terrible font choice can make dialogue a pain in the ass to read. |

| I like light blue subs with a black contour. Thankfully, video players on PC have somewhat flexible settings for sub customization, but on the other hand iOS is pretty bad in this regard, so while watching anime on a mobile I stick to the white color just because I’m left out of options (I’m not, but I’m too much of a lazy-ass to jailbreak). |

| White because yellow is just bad to look at. |
