The new color in Babel is just as bad as the old.

tbh the game is just as playable with default colors

yea thats actually true lel :stuck_out_tongue:

Dark silver vs gold/bronze

Yes, it is playable. But I think that there is an unfair advantage involving default colors. The blue team has a darker color that is not as easy to spot as green. We need colors that have equal advantages AND disadvantages. Plus, I think some people would like a change, like izzy thought. Izzy just accidentally picked a color that didn’t work, that’s why people complained. If we find a good color for the teams, why not use it?

Non-camouflage colors: I’m for Red vs Blue

With camouflage colors: I’m for Gold vs Silver

This picture does put things in perspective a bit =/

Monsta can you do this with additional colors for comparison?

Here are some additional colors, including the silver and gold.

Teal and Silver blends in pretty well with the sky in my opinion.

Yes, I think the grey (silver) is a good one. Maybe we should start a poll or something similar.

I thought the idea was to blend the player with the terrain (or make them both extremely obvious). Not make them invisible in the fog’s color. O_o
Although it might help the tower builders hide a little better, instead of being neon dots to pick off.

Let’s try to remember that the background color is rarely just sky blue. In fact, it sometimes changes during the round. Although, I do agree that teal blends in too well with that background…

I don’t understand what you mean. Fog color is rarely not sky blue. Only a few maps use different fog.

We should moving away from team colors that blend with the sky, the team text and killfeed will also blend in with the sky.

IMO dark red vs dark blue might be best. If we make it just barely dark enough that dark red text won’t be confused with special red text.

+1

I don’t really care about the colors… Just don’t use red please. It hurts my eyes soooo much. Default masterrace
Edit: make a poll

You are right, I totally forgot about that. :stuck_out_tongue:
But the global chat is always white, just the team chat would have minor problems, as people are usually facing the ground in the chat area, and besides that, one could use modloader, which has a background color for the chat.

Woops. Meant fog color, not sky. And I guess you’re right, those colors (silver/teal) would be hard to see on most maps . Also, I didn’t think about the chat/kill-feed, which would be hard see whether is was white global chat or silver team chat. Good point.

I like the idea of darker colors. They work as camouflage, compared to the bright neon colors we use now… But in order to use a shade of red, there needs to be a different kill-feed color. Something that can’t be mistaken for the team color red.

Could we do this? With a brighter color? (yellow, neon green, etc.) And, as Nope said, perhaps server messages could be in this color.

to my knowledge sever messages display in the color of team 1, and there is no way to change this

Can we just play as Green and Blue? We had no complaints before izzy changed the colors.

Danke already programmed default back in. Someone just has to hit the reset button on babel for that to happen.
