A blue colour is better for colourblind players, especially in a medium spectrum. Turquoise is my favourite. :lol:

Inspired by Xorena, I've switched to the "quotation marks for spoken words" and He types in italics while emoting system as I think it looks cleaner and easier to follow. Hadn't considered the effect on colour blind people but I'm all about inclusivity so I'll keep at it.

I love the idea but the new light blue color is now easily mistaken for the white-colored messages. Could you guys change emotes to a darker shade please?

You should consider colorblind friendly colors when doing this. I am not myself colorblind but know many who are.

This, I have to strain my eyes to tell the difference. The blue chosen is extremely light.
