National colors are fun!
 

These colors are as accurate as you get. I copied the colors from the flags with Paint Shop Pro and read the HTML code.

Nice. But dont go by me. My old eyes and old fading monitor have already gotten complaints about my color sense. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Are you working toward ansi charts that will be able to display in this forum? Hmmmm I wonder if some old utility like gif2ascii which creates ascii-art could be used to display the map here with nation-colored province ownership.

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Some of those colors are almost impossible for those of us with colorblindness (red-green in my case) to see against the forum background. Specifically:

C'tis
Caelum
TC
Machaka
Marignon

Arco isn't great either, but is at least legible.

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Well I'll either have to make them darker or have a background color. Does anyone know how to get a background color?

Edit: Are the colors good now?

Re: National colors are fun!
 

PMing doesn't seem to be working. I'd PM Gandalf and Hakko to check out the changes but I can't, so this is a *bump*.

Are the colors easier to see now? Which ones are still eye-straining?

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Much better, thank you. And I'm speaking as a green-red challenged viewing the 'net through laptop monitor.

C'tis fades a bit into the background, but I'd say it's legible. And this time, doesn't hurt.

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Much better. C'tis is still problematic, but, as atul notes, not actually nausea inducing. Arco's a bit faint, but that's all.

Ta much, Argitoth.

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Arrite I made C'tis and Arco darker.

Re: National colors are fun!
 

Wow! Nice. They can be told from each other easily AND differ enough from the forum background.

You might want to change the message text, but other than that, good work!
