Role Colors

Post by Fikou » #612207

What do you think about the current role colors on the discord? Should they be changed? To what?

Uniformity is an important part of what makes sorting through channels easier, and it helps to keep the individual colors distinct from each other.
Admins, game-masters, and trialmins are practically indistinguishable until you click their icon on discord to tell.
Maintainers, being under Oranges Purview, have a similar problem, but I recognize are out of my hands.
We have like... a handful of bonus roles and colors that we have that are intentionally all extremely similar, and when event season rolls around nobody can tell whose a retired admin, an event code, spriter, maintainer, or senior mapper.

Here's my preferred breakdown, supported by color theory.

Completely uses the color wheel, keeps all rolls visually distinct, and shows a progression of rolls between trial-admin and head admin in terms of experience along from light blue to royal blue-purple.

I am also willingly admitting here that this is something that only wierdos like myself would get upset about.

Edit: I have also drafted up a secondary version of this chart with less soul after the first one stopped loading for a few hours today:
