mr profit's girl friday (and all week long) (tiferet) wrote in rp_tutorials,

I really love this, but I'd like to point out, because I am older (44) and wearing reading glasses these days, that while I 100% agree with you on the colours you picked being better than the bad and obvious ones that a lot of people use, on your three "image" examples, you have chosen at least one colour for each that is so low-contrast on the background that I have to move my laptop around to see it. 710900 on black, 364D41 on black, and 330000 on the red-brown are nearly invisible to me. I think that I am pretty good at this too and share your abhorrence of the neon colours on black, &c, but one thing that I do do, when using a colour picker and an image, is if there is not sufficient contrast after I've picked the colour, is lower or raise the numbers proportionally (that is, 710900 might become 932a22) and try and get almost exactly the same colour only slightly lighter or darker than what it is in the image. I find, being an older gamer and having a number of older players, that it's harder for people out of their teens and 20s to see some of the more subtle dark/dark contrasts.
