YPPedia talk:Color and style

This is a fantastic resource already. Thanks for it! --AtteSmythe 08:49, 28 July 2006 (PDT)
 * I'm in total agreement that this is the best thing ever! Thanks for doing this. --Guppymomma 15:04, 28 July 2006 (PDT)

New ocean colors
Here are a few suggestions on possible Opal Malachite Jade and Crimson colors.

Opal
I sort of prefer the yellow/green scheme as a way to set it apart from the other doubloon oceans. Then again, if Three Rings is going to be opening a bunch of foreign-language servers, perhaps we should pick a whole different pallet, perhaps in the reds, to distinguish them from the English-language servers.--Fiddler 10:30, 17 November 2006 (PST)
 * I vote yellow-green. Denotes the doubloonness of the ocean and is different from the other colors of green. --Guppymomma 15:38, 17 November 2006 (PST)


 * I'm also a fan of yellow-green. --Yaten talk 19:50, 19 November 2006 (PST)


 * Any other opinions? I'll set this the yellow/green on Monday if nobody objects.--Fiddler 09:17, 2 December 2006 (PST)


 * Support yellow-green. --Barrister 11:36, 2 December 2006 (PST)

Malachite
Need something "Malachity", ehehe.... --Knowledge13 07:32, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I'm actually leaning towards the Opal Blue/Green option, personally. Or maybe Malachite C.  --Fiddler 08:09, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I kind of like Malachite B, but thats just my opinion. --Knowledge13 08:15, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I like Malachite B as well. Its different from the other ones. --Fearlessphil 08:17, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Thats the main reason I liked it....--Knowledge13 08:18, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I lean toward B as well due to the distinctness. The rest are a little too close to Viridian's color to be easily recognized as a different ocean. --Guppymomma 08:24, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Okay, I'm swayed. The B header is much more unique, but I still prefer the background colors for C. --Fiddler 08:32, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Is there some reason we can't go with header B and background C rather than the same option for both? I rather like background C over B as well. --Belthazar451 08:41, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Presto changeo! --Guppymomma 08:44, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Since there seems to be consensus so far on option B, I'll just make the header and background templates with that. They can be changed if the consensus changes. --Guppymomma 10:00, 5 May 2008 (PDT)

Keep the comments coming, deciding the color is an important task, as it will be used on many pages. --Knowledge13 08:30, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Hmm, this is a tough one. Anyhow, who gets the official decision on the color? Eurydice? Cleaver? --Knowledge13 08:35, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Chiming in a little late, but I also think B is the best. Also, the collective wiki editors choose the colors, yourself included.  The Ringers leave these kinds of things to us.  --Barrister 11:28, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * I see, thats a nice setup. So for example if the majority of voters supports something, then its done? arr... --Knowledge13 07:41, 6 May 2008 (PDT)
 * That's how wikis work, after all. --Belthazar451 08:16, 6 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Well, most of the time... :P --Knowledge13 08:18, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

The outline for the background one was too light compared to the other production oceans. I darkened it up a bit so it won't look so out of place in pirate infoboxes. --Guppymomma 22:16, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Palette colors
When I get some time, I should add the palette colors to this page. This is just a reminder for myself for later. --Barrister 11:45, 5 May 2008 (PDT)

Jade & Crimson
Jade looks fine, I looked it up on Wikipedia and its a green substance. I'll go with Jade A. --Lcawte 17:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Jade A looks okay to me as well. (Edit: Although come to think of it, looking at my jade, it's more bluish for some pieces so possibly C is better. The only pieces that are green green are really dark pine green.)  We should probably do a table of the real colors on this page so we can compare properly.  I like Crimson B or C for the main part, but I think the background needs to be a lot lighter otherwise it will stand out among the other oceans' backgrounds. --Guppymomma 01:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I prefer Jade C and I agree with Guppy's comments about Crimson. Crimson B works best for me for the main part but the background needs to be a lot lighter.  -- Cedarwings (talk) 01:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I rather like B for Jade. I agree that Crimson should be a bit paler. It's gonna be tricky getting a red that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb amongst all the greens and blues, but we can at least avoid eye-burningly bright. Maybe something like

(undent) My current favorites are Jade C for both header and background and the header from Crimson C. I like the idea of #ff8888 for the background. Incidentally, the headers for Jade and Crimson C both come from the Wikipedia definition of the colors. --Fiddler 03:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * bgcolor=#ff8888|#ff8888
 * or
 * bgcolor=#ffcaca|#ffcaca
 * for backgrounds, and
 * bgcolor=#ff4b4b|#ff4b4b
 * or
 * bgcolor=#ff6363|#ff6363
 * for the header
 * } --Belthazar451 01:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * for the header
 * } --Belthazar451 01:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * #ff8888 works much better for me for the Crimson background.
 * Zacb1 has arbitrarily created a header template with #990033 as the colour. It actually doesn't look half bad, but I don't know how much it's in keeping with the other oceans. --Belthazar451 07:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not meaning to take over but thought it best to set up a header template so the Yppedia pages load correctly, the colour can easily be changed at a later date as and when people are agreed, but needed a background template as to work on buiilding the pages. --Zacb1 07:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Understandable. I've switched the background one over to ff8888 for now, but it looks a bit dark compared to the others.  Perhaps ffcaca would be better?  What do you all think?  You can see it with the whole lot over at Adrielle. Edit: Added current jade frontrunner color set, that background could use lightening as well. --Guppymomma 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with ff8888 looking too dark now that I see it in play. I'm almost wondering if the Jade background is too dark too.  For Crimson I think ffcaca would work better.


 * Okay, check Adrielle again and see what you think. I've lightened up both.  I had to change the shade of the jade one a bit because it was a tad on the blue side. --Guppymomma 22:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks much better. -- Cedarwings (talk) 22:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
