Users can set their own color on HN. For example my account has the header in my favorite shade of green.

To clarify, you need to have a certain number of points, which I understand is sometimes adjusted to reflect the growth of HN.

You need about 250 points; I couldn't change the color 2 days ago when I had 227 and now that I'm at 267 I can.

omg, I'm so close, 237...help...please...anyone? =p

How? I can't see it in the options

In your profile settings, it's the "topcolor" setting.

you also need a specific number of points.
