@wikingest said in Do not add new colors - discussion:
But having only 16 colors, means that last one can end up with very similar color to his neighbor. And that is a problem.
The whole point of choosing only 16 colors is that you could choose ones that are NOT similar to each other. With 19 colors, you HAVE to have some colors that are similar to each other, because 19 is too many.
Since everybody keeps suggesting, here is mine. I modified Jips, because pink / dark pink combined with purple / dark purple will not work and we still have teal available as distinct, easy to call out color:
- red / dark red
- blue / dark blue
- green / dark green
- teal
- orange / brown
- yellow / dark yellow (mustard)
- bright pink / dark pink = bright purple / dark purple
- white / grey
Compared to what we have now (which is 19 colors):
- number of greens/blues/teals reduced from 7 to 5
- number of pinks/purples reduced from 4 to 3
The rest basically is still the same. If you want, throw in lime as an additional color, so the last person in a 8v8 can still choose between 2.
If those colors are properly chosen, they should be easy to distinguish and call-out for any non-color-blind person, and i am still in favor of giving color-blind people slightly (!) altered color sets, where only the problematic colors are changed. For example for the red-green-blind set you would slightly change greens and reds to have different brightness or mix in slight other colors.
