Flavor text color too close to regular text

Unread post by Laughingman »

I cannot easily tell at a glance. The difference is basically between this and an even lighter version of this on my screen. Any chance we could change it to something like this perhaps or even this?

I'd rather it didn't become too strong a color tbh, but a maybe a tiny bit more. I also suspect a lot of people would benefit from calibrating their shoddy monitors and actually having a look at gamma/brightness settings. I'm looking at CK mainly, that shirt is blue. Not black.

And the rainbow thing is abominable.

Why do I feel like you are saying something about those that play with color blindness?

I'd like an option to change the color to what we'd like. For example:

/chatflavorcolor 999

Or whatever numbering would work best to allow flexibility. This would allow people with colorblindness to adjust to their own needs. And give some nice flavor to individual PC RP.

What was so bad about the pinkish color from before? It might have blended in with the names but at least it stood out over our heads.

Darker blue perhaps? - <C=#81DAF5>


I find the blue easier to read than the pink but making it just a tad darker might be better. I think Valefort did the change last time. What do you say, Valefort?

*Valefort doesn't use the flavor text color but good old asterisks and therefore doesn't care much*

Darker, sure.
