Chada1 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Before I vanish off the face of the server I have one or two 'Borg projects I want to finish, the first is this. Making the 'borg department colors more vibrant and lovely, but I need some suggestions/feedback to get it right, I think. I'm good at telling if colors look good, but not so great at picking out complementary colors. The colors we have rn are: And note I'm excluding the sub-departments like construction, custodial, etc on purpose, as they'll share their main departments colors, or take the closest color available to them. Medical: Lightblue. Also two darker shades of it, but we're after a new color to go with it. All departmental sprites will have it. What would the second color be? A shade of green? Engineering: Orange. Also two darker shades of it, same stuff. What would the complimentary color be? A shade of yellow? Science: Purple. Darker shades too. No clue what complimentary color. Mining: Brown. Darker shades too. Yellow as a complimentary color? Service: Swamp Green. No clue what complimentary color that could be added to this.

Playbahnosh Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 how about this: Medical: White - since it's the commonly accepted color of medical stuff, easy to see and identify. I think red for the secondary color would be good, it's a classic. Engineering: Orange - most construction/engineering/warning signs, it makes sense and easy to see. Yellow as secondary color. Science: Deep Purple - since it has been the Sci color since forever, why change it. Dark grey and/or Cyan as secondary color.Sec: oh, wait... Cargo/Mining: Brown - also the dept. color since ancient times. Secondary color gunmetal grey Janitorial: Light Purple - as above, secondary color is light blue. Service: Elegant Grey and Black - service was always greyscale, I think it fits.
Chada1 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 @Playbahnosh Thank you for the input and I'll try these ideas out in practice and see if they're decent
Chada1 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Posted November 9, 2020 This can be locked and archived -- I think it feels good enough rn, and I'm not too sure I want to put in the time and work to actually pull this project through.
