Make rare items Dark Green and crafted items Dark Blue

[errant cave]

With the removal of set items... I think rare items should be dark green instead... This is for many reasons but first and more importantly due to the very simaler colors of mythics and rare items. (while we are at it, crafted items should also be adressed) I think each rarity should have very distinct colors from eachother.
I think changing rare items to green instead of pink would allow people to tell them apart at a glance. Since even with the new ui light purple and dark purple are very simaler color wise. (Also Crafted items should be made dark blue) (could be orange but I fear its to simaler to yellow)
Changing rare from light purple to dark green and craft items from dark aqua to dark blue would fix these issues.

There has long been an issue getting rare drops and confusing it with mythics... (or dropping a mythic and confusing for a rare item, ie new players) (Also for lootrunning and finding boxed mythics and rare items)
(tell people colorblind, or people with poor sight to spot the difference expesially for boxes)
Reason I suggest dark green is because people with red green colour blindness find will be less likely to confuse light red and dark green)

TLDR the 5 main reasons why I suggest this change are

1. By making each rarity have a vastly distinct color, it would be easier for most people to tell apart mythics and rare items at a glance without needing to double check.** (IE BOXES)**
2. Would reduce the confusion between these rarities from new players, and the effort of looking at rare items incase they are mythic.
3. Would midagate issues with color blindness and poor sight.
4. By having them be different shades, they can be distignushed easier. (the shades of pink and purple for rare and mythics are very simaler, font wise)
5. With set items gone, green as a color is now open. Meaning either rare or crafted items should probably have the color... As they both are simaler to other rarities. (crafted items honestly should be a dark blue, since right now they are dark aqua, in contrast to legendary items, light aqua tint) (dark blue is very different from light aqua and dark purple)

[quaint osprey]

horrendous idea

never cook again

[hollow axle]

i think all rarities should be colourblind friendly

[errant cave]

yeah... major part of the reason...

currently pink and purple are to simaler color wise for many people to tell apart... (and people have been complaining about this for years)

[earnest vessel]

as a colorblind user, i thought these were the same color until i read "tell people colorblind to spot the difference" and checked again
these are way too similar 😭

[errant cave]

yeah... Im not colorblind but at a quick glance I cant tell the difference.

[hushed moss]

wait they're getting rid of set items?

how am I gonna find sufficient gear in the market if I have to use my brain to find good gear combos myself?

[winged cloud]

I like gear Sets 🙁

[errant cave]

unneded... Sets can now be added to any item. Without needing its own unique rarity. (ie the green one)

they will become items of other rarities... IE be redistributed to unique rare and legendary

[austere plank]

They are a little similar but I wouldn't call it colorblind unfriendly, they have competely different borders

[errant cave]

issue is when not hovering over the item... IE rare items next to mythic items in the inventory

[winged cloud]

Ooh, hype

[umbral quail]

as much as I don't really like the color green for items, I think this is a reasonable ask

[errant cave]

could be a different shade... (Just with sets removed green is no longer taken.. This leaves orange and green as the options... And orange I feel is too close to yellow... which is the issue i want adressed with rares in the first place)

[vague ravine]

im color blind and this is bad for me cuz yellow and green look the same please dont do this

For actual feedback i dont think this would work since fableds are red and theres also a lot of colorblind ppl with red green blindness you cant really fix the boxes being seen at a glance for all all color blind ppl and atleast mythics are rare to the point that it rarely happens and most of the time ppl will be using wynntils

Also changing that would just mess with peoples muscle memory

I do think rare should be changed maybe but not to green

They could also add an anti valuables dropping feature by default like hypixel skyblock to prevent ppl from dropping mythics in the first place

[errant cave]

which color would you suggest then? orange would be simaler to yellow... all other colors besides black are already fufilled.
Also peoples muscle memories are already screwed when it comes to identifiying rare from mythics... (we have tools that notify us that they show up, because the colors are simaler and you can easily not notice the color in the sea of pink within chests)
Only other option I can think of is keep rare pink and make mythics black... (which would probably be very unpopular)

[errant cave]

Question do dark green and light red look simaler to you or can you tell them apart by the shade?

[warped jungle]

as someone with red green colorblindness (deuteranomaly), having red green colorblindness doesnt make you mix up red and green

i do agree about yellow vs green if the green is a light green, but if it is a dark green then you can tell by brightness, even if you cant identify the color

(mixing yellow and light green up, is the red-green (deuter) colorblindness thing, because you see more green and yellow is right next to light green.)

[fast grotto]

they could play with the saturation/brightness of all categories too, more saturated colors the more rare the item is

a lot of colorblind ppl play games with this types of systems

[obsidian thunder]

i mean i have red green colorblindness and yea i have issues with distinguishing with rare/mythic boxes at a glance but even then I do not think rare suits the "green palette" at all if it was up to me I would just make mythic purple a lot more deeper and darker shade. and lighten up pink a lot. it helps distinguish these two for me.

please do not make rare items green that would fuck up so many returning players

[errant cave]

confusion for old and returning players shouldnt be too much of an issue if its mentioned in the changelog and the text for rare is changed to dark green... Would take time for people to get used to but people will eventully adapt.

[errant cave]

Make rare items green and crafted items darker

overall I am of the opinion rare and crafted items should have more unique colors.. But people will complain about that since its change... Sigh

[fast grotto]

agree

[errant cave]

which is why I say make rare green since its no longer taken... and crafted darker... (either still teal or dark blue)

[fast grotto]

i won't mind having to adapt to that since it would help ppl who cannot avoid having that issue

[errant cave]

orange is too simaler to yellow sadly

[fast grotto]

crafted could be orange too

ahh yeah

[errant cave]

maybe... I just worry its to simaler.

Difference is dark blue and light blue are argubly 2 the most different a single color gets... (it generally gets 2 words per languages for a reason)

[fast grotto]

what about dark grey for common items and white for crafteds?

or maybe a simbol for crafted items?

[errant cave]

maybe...

[obsidian thunder]

i mean genuinely my main issue is the shades are a bit similar especially the auras i dont see the point of completely changing it. why not just make the shade darker for mythics and lighter for rares

[errant cave]

not distinct enough

[errant cave]

if you make it lighter for rares it will become simaler to common

ie light pink is simaler to white

[obsidian thunder]

im not saying it to make it that bright. you can easily go way darker for mythics lol

[fast grotto]

something like this? (with a custom icon)

like having something at the end that indicates a crafted

[obsidian thunder]

it just feels like an unnecessary change that stirs up confusion

[fast grotto]

in terms of size

[errant cave]

honestly think its own color would be best since an icon would take longer to notice.

[errant cave]

there is already confusion between mythics and rares... because of its colors... There will be confusion either way

[obsidian thunder]

and i dont think saying "we made rare items green" will be enough during the changelog your brain WILL think rare items are still pinkish purple as they are in most games

[obsidian thunder]

yes thats why we can make mythic shade darker

[fast grotto]

especially when they come in boxes

[errant cave]

people will adapt overtime

[errant cave]

YUP! boxes are the main issue

[obsidian thunder]

idk like im genuinely colorblind thats quite literally the only issue i have right now. i dont think anyone will be too butt hurt for them making mythics a shade darker lol

[fast grotto]

this, i don't mind having this issue if is for something that help ppl in this way

[errant cave]

change is difficult, but often items it can be for the better. Takes time to adapt but people will learn and understand eventully.

[fast grotto]

wynn is limited to this colors don't?

thats the main issue

like there are not many options to choose from, correct me if im wrong

[errant cave]

yeah... Which is why I suggest the dark green... fables use the regular red (not dark red)

[obsidian thunder]

im referring to the boxes right now i should have said that sooner

[errant cave]

yeah why are crafted using dark aqua while legendaries use aqua... should be dark blue based on this I think)

also rare items are not pink they are light purple...

[fast grotto]

crafted could change to dark blue yeah

[errant cave]

Make rare items green and crafted items Dark Blue

[errant finch]

That was old wynn, in more recent versions of minecraft they should be able to use hex codes.

[fast grotto]

then they could tweak the system and make saturation work that way so that colorblind can distinguish items easily without caring about the color, low rarity being less saturated (keeping the current color type) and high rarity being more saturated

[errant finch]

or alternatively add symbols or patterns on the outlines

[fast grotto]

ohh i like that

[errant cave]

wdym?
In the case of symbols the colors would still be simaler and easily consuable at a quick glance.

[terse shard]

stuff like this, in addition to the colors, to help distinguish them faster

for instance:

(it could be argued that depending on the execution, patterns may just create more noise and be distracting overall. but these are just examples made in 5s)

[warped jungle]

a patterned background obvious enough to be useful for accessibility will make the text harder to read

[errant cave]

I sadly dont think that would fit ui wise sadly... (would be remove the clean aestetic.

[terse shard]

yep. theres text all over the place. up down left right.

[errant cave]

I agree an icon could be added for each rarity in the top right for even more user friendlyness but each should also be a distinct color.

[austere plank]

I don't think this is true anymore, they've been using many new colors

[earnest vessel]

mostly the same for me, though i have gotten particular shades of red/green mixed up. specifically i was on snapchat looking through the color bar and couldnt find red until i realized i was seeing two greens.

[warped jungle]

if its approaching brown, sometimes yeah

[agile lark]

thats a fun idea using Patterns or something in the background
