Dungeons and Dragons Wiki talk:New Color Scheme

I wouldn't mind a new color scheme to further differentiate us from the other wiki. I'm partial to lighter and less color saturated schemes (like blue-grey), but I'm also pretty unlikely to go color hunting.

I've added the current major colors to the project page in table form. Anyone who is interested should feel free to copy the table and replace the current ones with suggested replacement colors (and we can probably merge zebra and sidebar colors going forward). - Tarkisflux Talk 17:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Anything that incorporates stuff from the logo for theming would be good (the gray actually has a bit of a yellow tint to it). I'll chime in more if this builds some steam. As for color hunting, that's why I've got this big table of the basic wiki-usable colors: To the Drawing Board!. --Ganteka Future (talk) 17:38, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Is this logo still a good reference File:WikiCrest.png Gan? - Tarkisflux Talk 17:43, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the name is just a bit misleading is all. I could probably export and upload a larger version if that's useful.
 * Also, on the topic of differentiation and logos, is it worthwhile to rework the logo since there's now the sister wikia site to differentiate from? Is there a way to make the sister wikia change out that logo to avoid confusion?
 * Also also, I'd like to avoid the sharp blue and yellow in general wiki stuff since the contrast and saturation are a bit high for casual viewing. Not that I think that would be proposed to switch to those colors, just... they're best in small doses. --Ganteka Future (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Will post vote for a greyish-blue look - anything close to brown will still look too similar. Also, we do need a new logo now. --Franken Kesey (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Here's an example of a blue-gray layout. It's really boring and I don't know that I'd want it here, but it provides a more clear example than some regular words.


 * And while I don't know that it's as big a deal as the colors, I could alter the icons at wikia if I had something else to put up if we wanted to keep the ones we have here. - Tarkisflux Talk 19:45, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd honestly rather change the sister wikia's logo to something like "Dungeons@Wikia" or "Dungeons&Dragons@Wikia". If that means me coming up with a new logo, I'm down with that. Also, that gray version is sad and boring. This process of default layout color tinkering/revising is going to end up with a lot of trial and error I suspect. Additionally, I may still want to spruce up our current logo here. By that, I just mean perhaps adding a bit more detail to it while still keeping it clean and readable. I've been wanting to do so since the wikia split, I just haven't been motivated since it was rather extraneous work.--Ganteka Future (talk) 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Well Gan, you make a new image for Dungeons@Wikia, and I will upload it. - Tarkisflux Talk 21:00, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The color scheme was designed to look similar to 3.5 books. If the color scheme was going to be changed at all, it should look like Pathfinder books (whatever they look like, I don't have any). Surgo (talk) 00:12, 27 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Only the first page of a chapter really keeps this color scheme, and only barely. The rest of the pages are white with the occasional tan table highlight, bordered by a dark red design with a tan chapter box. So, you're suggesting we move to dark red and tan? Might be able to swing that...- Tarkisflux Talk 05:15, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
