Color question

edit

Dude, we need to talk. Those colors? Uh, I'm thinking no. :) – Quadell (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Me, too. Pink and teal are very, um. :) (Recognizing, of course, that I could be misrendering them.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
What about a shade of yellow (or two) to pick up the image?
Or a shade of brown for the same reason?
Or variants in the blue family to contrast with the yellow in the image?
Or some shades of green for no real reason?
Or some color/neutral combination, like this dark slate gray/mustard?
Or something else? :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply


My vote is to go with the greens: predefined "darkgree" and "lightgreen" are nice and standard. We could use the same color scheme for the project page... – Quadell (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps we should solicit help from Wikipedia:WikiProject Color. ;) – Quadell (talk) 20:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I like the greens you've got, but I'm good with Dreamguy's choice on the front, too. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Any of those would be better than pink and teal. The brown is probably best of those, followed by the green (purple on the text links clash with a lot of other colors). And of course the spelling error needs to be fixed. And the Wikiproject link should be bolded, per other Wikiproject user boxes and just for legibility. I changed those on my edits, and they'd need to be preserved/carried over. DreamGuy (talk) 21:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I should have waited a few minutes. :) I implemented the green just because it coordinated with the colors currently on the project page. I agree with DreamGuy's basic philosophy. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Me too. :) – Quadell (talk) 22:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yah... uh... thanks. I guess that that was pretty ugly. :) The green looks good to me. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Color is very subjective. :) Pink and teal are seashell colors and really popular in tropical areas. My sister-in-law could totally wallpaper her living room with that userbox, and it would match her other decor. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
