VIP Colors

MrSimons · 08-09-2014

Since this kinda applies to all servers I'm gonna post this here, and hope that someone in contact with Stefan or someone important can see this. Anyway, my issue is the poor selection of VIP colors. While it is a massive step up from the 19 default colors, a lot of the VIP colors seem to be very poorly picked, or useless.

An example of this would be the fact that there are seven, SEVEN, different shades of white, and the only difference is a slightly different hue, that in no situation a player would want to use any of those.

or maybe all of whatever these colors are?

However this is our current selection of grays. Now while some of these are pretty good colors, they're all very bright compared to black, so if you want to have an outfit that has a nice darker gray to go against black, you're out of luck and will have to deal with a dark blue/gray.

There is also the fact that about 1/3 of the VIP colors have a blue hue. In fact, the area I highlighted red on this scrollbar is the entire blue section. Why is there that many blues, when there are only 6 grays, or 7 reds, or 4 oranges?

Summary:

I am not asking for more VIP colors, we have just enough, in fact we may have too many. The problem is that the colors were selected very poorly. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could bring this to Stefan's attention, and convince him to allow someone who is good with colors to set up a new palette of colors that'd work better, Coco, Dusty, Latte, Toxicturn, Aeko, anyone who is a half-decent graphic artist could do it.

Lol the names of the colors are funny. Lemonchiffon, lightgoldrenrodyellow (why so long?) and papaya whip

I wish orange was a default color, I'm not so sure why it's a VIP exclusive color. They should add an actual orange to default colors and rename the current "orange" to peach.

I don't think the default colors will be changed, since it has been asked before and hasn't happened. But I'm hoping since people actually pay for the VIP colors that something can be done about them.

Chances are colors aren't going to be changed. I don't remember how the extra colors were chosen, chances are Stefan picked them(his taste is... meh). Default colors will NOT be changed, mostly because they are established. IE orange has been the color for skin since Graal implemented them. Every server has orange set for the skin color. If orange was changed to actually look like orange, then everyone would have actual orange skin.

And that kind of sucks 'cause my favorite color is orange!

That must explain why you're headband is orange. The mystery has been solved.

At the very least, I would appreciate a white to black shade selection on the colour map, like on the right edge (or a separate bar on the side of the colour map). Also, make the colour map more convenient to use. Example: When you select a spot on it, it should mark a small dot and tell you what colour you've chosen, then you select "ok" (or you could click another spot to pick a different colour, and so on and so fourth). Also, increase the size of the colour map.

My point is, if the colour map was easier to use, there would be no need to change the colours on the VIP colour list.

or we could just have a hue/contrast adjustment bar so we can make a custom selection of colors

I thought the colour map was a custom colour selection system (albeit a hard to use one).

Ok, so the colours have "official" names. What's your point?

Make an option where we can pick our own colors, less problems, more happy, and I'm not really sure how you could abuse the power of color...
