Default 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.

Pythium - 9F2DB0
Man - 0B5308
Ulm - 08337E
C'tis - 6C7C00
Arcoscephale - 008C87
Caelum - 5259F0
Ermor - 5E3A76
Marignon - CD4200
Pangaea - 009200
Vanheim - 700000
Jotunheim - 64300C
R'lyeh - 0D3731
Mictlan - 345735
T'ien Ch'i - B4404E
Machaka - C94A00

Nice. But dont go by me. My old eyes and old fading monitor have already gotten complaints about my color sense.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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!
