Color of GMs forum names

Post by ardesia »

I'd like GMs names to be of a slightly brighter blue.
The current one is painful to read, while I believe that GMs names should be the most easy ones to be noted and read.

Ok, let's confess it: I used to recognise GMs names basing on their lenght.
Now that Arashiko (8 characters) is bluenamed, I'm crashing on discerning it from DaHobbit (8 characters).
My eyes beseech for a brighter color :(

I highlight them with my mouse to read them.
But not everyone is on a computer.
And clicking on a user name usually takes you to their profile :(

Here two possible brighter blues proposals for GMs names in forum:
  1. this color's code is 0000EE
  2. this color's code is 0000FF
  3. this color's code is 40bfFF
  4. this color's code is 0040FF
IMO, the second blue is the best fitting one.
How is it readable on your devices?

Neither option is great on my device. Tbh I prefer the shade of blue you use in your signature where you've increased the font size.

I added it as 3rd option, but it is too similar to non-GM forum users names.
What about the current 4th?

Ah ok fair enough. Yes, option 4 is much better and easier to read than 1 and 2.
