I'm not a designer!!! This is just something I've wanted to toy with for a while. It's a less white theme that's hopefully easier on my eyes. The colors aren't quite right[1] and it could obviously be improved by a pro, but maybe others will find it helpful. I've just finished tinkering with it and haven't spent a great deal of time using it yet so changes/fixes are likely to come. Feedback / Suggestions welcome.
Install the Stylish plugin for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), then go to the following link and install the theme: https://userstyles.org/styles/158383/logos-community-forums
1. The colors I've changed are all variations (darkened, lightened, desaturated variations) on three colors: a) the color of the header on logos.com which is a reddish tinted grey; b) logos blue; c) the compliment of logos blue - orange.

Thanks for giving it a try.
A few improvements since I posted:
To update to the latest version: Click the Stylish icon on your browser toolbar, then the kabob menu at the upper right of the popup menu, and select 'Manage All Styles'. From there, click on 'Check for Update'. If there is an update it will change to a button labeled 'Update Now'. If there isn't an update it will show a message that 'Style is up to date'. Update often.

I like it, Randy, thanks a lot! For a page that I stare at so often, it's nice to see some TLC.

I think it is finished. I've adjusted the theme on all forum pages: home, thread view, post view, reply, quick reply, insert media, html view, profile view, edit profile, etc. Tons of tweaks all over to improve consistency. And the source files have been SASSified for easier modification and posted on github. Please let me know if I've missed anything or you have any other feedback.
If you are already using the theme just update. If you are not, why not?
I tried to install. You said it worked with Safari but when I go to the 2nd link and click Install with Stylish it takes me to a Chrome Web App page, which of course doesn't work with Safari.

It's a peach! Thanks, Randy

Randy, I just installed it on Firefox and it works like a dream. Thanks so much!
Now I just have to get used to the new look.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test Safari. It sounds like you did get the extension installed? If the extension UI is the same:
Sorry, I don't have a mac to test on, but that should be close to the correct instructions.
I have just aded the two with a Mac, worked well
Minor Update since last post:
There is still a good bit that I haven't been able to change the way I'd like because I can't find selectors to differentiate and target individual elements in some cases. IE. Changing a certain element causes changes throughout all the forum pages containing that element which looks a bit odd in some cases but still acceptable, I think. This is still a learning experience for me; first real use of CSS.

I appreciate your effort on this! I originally brushed it off as something I wouldn't even notice, but it's a great enhancement to my experience reading the forums. Thank you!

Randy, I've been enjoying your enhancements for several days now. I really appreciate your work. Thanks very much, Dale.
If I wanted to install this- do I use the first link that started this post, or the most recent one?
Thanks!

The links in the top post point to the always current version. I do continue to make periodic updates as I notice styling problems, work to unify the design or learn new techniques, and you can always revisit that link to update to the most current.
BTW, For those interested in similarly themeing your browser:
These are native browser themes, not UserStyles. I like these because the greys look classy while keeping your attention on the content rather than the UI. I think they work well with the themeing of forums.
