Should contests categories use type colors? Page [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Ribbons_in_the_games] uses its own colors.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 09:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

= Some color changes for the future =
For some time, the colors for Red, Green, and Blue have been a bit of a strain eyes due to how saturated they are. In the near future, the color scheme for these three will be changed to be easier for people to look at when reading various pages.

Current colors used:

New proposed colors to make reading of various templates and galleries easier:

  Light Blue - 768de5   
  Blue - 2e50d8   
  Dark Blue - 1d348c   

  Light Green - 70c670   
  Green - 24a724   
  Dark Green - 176d17   

  Light Red - ef737d   
  Red - e72838   
  Dark Red - 961a24  

If anyone has other suggestions, I am open to them.

Also, any other core series game colors needing changes should be proposed here to help keep track of everything easier. Thank you~ ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 03:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

: This sounds good, theres a few other colour templates that I would like to bring forth for consideration and input:
:* Type colours: currently theses are based on Gen 3 games (with Fairy being its own invention); these dont really line up to the modern game very well as such I would suggest we change them to be in line with what is used in Scarlet and Violet. What this would look like can be seen [[User:4iamking/Sandbox|here]].
:* Stat colours are currently based on our type colours, these could be adjusted to use the mint/feather colours
:* TCG: I would suggest a few changes here:
:** {{template|TCG Supporter color}} I would change from red to orange, to better match the ingame cards (fellow EP wikis 52 pokéwiki and WikiDex also use orange)
:** {{template|Tcg fighting color}} Since the proposed change would likely clash with the fighing colour, I would make this more brown (also to better match the colour on the cards)
:** {{template|Tcg darkness color}} We have issues with this template because of how dark it is, it contrasts poorly with text, can be lighened up and be given a blue tint as on the cards.
:** {{template|TCG ACE SPEC color}} This template was recently created, and is [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3ATCG+ACE+SPEC+color&namespace= functionally unused], it also doesnt follow the criteria for what we normally would make a TCG color template for, as such I would delete/archive it.
:* FR/LG colours could also get an update to be less saturated
:* Colours for the DLC expansions would be a good addition (Isle of Armour / Crown Tundra / Teal Mask / Indigo Disk) would be a welcome addition.

:Think I got everything, if anyone has other colours feel free to add. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 08:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
:: Just to mention, {{template|Tcg metal color}} has come up as another colour to reevaluate (currently quite brown comparted to what it should be), I think a general evaluation of all TCG colours is in order. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 16:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

::Desaturating these colours seems like a very good idea; especially the "blue color", which can be very jarring. A general review of our colours to see if they still match the current ones used by TPC would be a good idea, as 4iamking mentioned. I also agree that we should have proper colour templates for the DLC, rather than reusing other colour templates. - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 09:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
:::One other thing I wanted to highlight is just general consistancy in names as well, the fact that we capitalize the names of some TCG templates and others not makes them somewhat confusing to use. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 10:39, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
:I '''support''' the updates to the RGB and type colors. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:35, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
::::RGB colors have been updated. Type colors, and TCG colors above, if possible, will be taking care of in the days ahead when I can. One think I would like to add as being looked at is the Physical Attack colors since they seem to run into similar issues as Red with the Red and Orange color combo being a bit of an eye strain honestly. Any suggestions on how to improve them? ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 06:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::For Physical Attack, I don't think there is any need for the text colour to be orange. It should be white to ensure there is enough contrast and maintain readability. - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 07:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

= More color proposals from Discord =

==DLC's==

Decided on Discord, makes sure none of the game colors overlap. Using various official sources. SwSh DLC's will need to be created, SV DLC's only exist as redirects.

  Isle of Armor color light - FDE060   
  Isle of Armor color - FCD00B   
  Isle of Armor color dark - A48707   

  Crown Tundra color light - 66CA9C   
  Crown Tundra color - 15AE68   
  Crown Tundra color dark - 0D7143   

  Teal Mask color light - 59C3BB   
  Teal Mask color - 00A398   
  Teal Mask color dark - 006A62   

  Indigo Disk color light - 5987A7   
  Indigo Disk color - 004878   
  Indigo Disk color dark - 002E4E   

==Stats==

Using feather and mint colors, stat colors otherwise are all over the place. The original colors were just randomly selected type colors, somehow with so many official colors we managed to pick unoficcial ones.

  HP color light - FFE58C   
  HP color - FFD84F

  Special Attack color dark - 3188A6   

  Special Defense color light - FFA9D3

  Special Defense color dark - A6507A   

  Speed color light - 9AD995   
  Speed color - 64C55D

:An alternative, darker color has been suggested for HP. It is from the HP Candy from LGPE. '''[[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] [[User talk:Oneofthosedf|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Oneofthosedf|(contribs)]]''' 21:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

:: Alternative scheme below, based from colours in XY, which coincidentally were the only mainline game to assign colours to the stats. Given that the ingame colours are very chalky, I used the game colours for the light colour, to base the midtone and dark colour off of, I think this scheme works really well with our templates as well.

::::No, if you base the decision off stat boosting items, the colour palette you end up with will be all over the place depending on what set of items you choose: I feel your already making one proxy collection just linking a stat to an item, but the lack of consistancy makes this evident.

::::::I agree its 2 reds (or well a red+orange), 2 blues; 2 greens in that case, the other green being SPE not SPD. The other thing to keep in mind is items are known for their sprites not changing after the item is introduced and they dont always match, when we know the colour... I.e. the [[Draco Plate]] is red despite the type more being associated with deep blues and occasionally yellow-gold as in the TCG. Finally just if anyone wanted to see it, [https://i.imgur.com/qekBtgr.png heres the two proposed schemes in action]. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 11:57, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
::::::: A chart featuring every instance the franchise associated stats with colors. [https://i.imgur.com/E6NvonW.png]
::::::: We were using this on Discord. There is no right answer here, but I believe basing our colors off of mints and feathers is more right than the rest. Feathers have been using the colors since Gen V, and GF made a conscious decision to model the mints after them in SwSh, when they could have just continued using the LGPE colors. There are now two VGC-hosting mainline games that have two sets of stat boosting items (nature changing is stat boost) that align in color. Mints have become frequently used, so it's fair to say users would have an easier time associating their colors with the stats than the darkened versions of a few pixels from an 11-year-old game. In short, the feather/mint colors are official, recent, current, and consistent. There are further issues with using the XY colors other than the fact that they were abandoned by the next game in the same generation: it's the only time Attack is yellow, Sp. Defense is blue and Speed is purple. The mints and feathers use colors that have been used elsewhere, with the exception of Sp. Defense, which is just all over the place, but Attack, Defense, Sp. Attack and Speed all use colors that have been assigned to them prior in the series.

{{indent}}You've mixed up the vitamin colors there. And I should've clarified, I was referring to the caps of the vitamins, they're the much more prominent color on their sprites and are actually distinct. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 12:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

::::Just to bring the current developments from the Discord chat to the wiki, the XY colours are also used in [[Masters EX]] to reprent the stats themselves on stat screens and thus can be directly attributed to the stat itself rather than just being the colour of an item that affects the stats in some way. I think right now this palette is the front running solution though it can still be tweaked based on feedback and testing in real use situations.

::::::What was the reasoning behind changing them in the first place? The new colors are kinda jarring (and a bit garish on fire type pages specifically, they clash really bad with the (also newish) red) considering how long the old colors were in use, regardless of how arbitrary they may have been. Stat colors used in one game from several generations ago are barely less arbitrary than what's been in use for years, though. [[User:Inco|Inco]] ([[User talk:Inco|talk]]) 08:11, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

== Egg group colors ==

Time to make proper egg group color templates with light and dark variants, the hex codes of which are used on the individual pages already. This would also allow us to use the colors in infoboxes, the Poké Maniac page is a good candidate. I suggest using the word "egg" for all of these templates as to differentiate between the five egg groups that are also types (Dragon, Bug, Grass, Fairy, Flying). The few templates that use these colors, like the move entry templates, would only need to have the word "egg" added twice in the right positions. Doing this will allow us to tweak the colors (since they are fan made) or change them if they ever get official ones.

The suggestion consists of several moves, color changes, and creation of new templates, but it's been a long time coming. It's all very reasonable.

== New TCG colors ==

More from Discord. Color revamp similar to the main types. Type colors are taken from page 4 of this: https://www.pokemon.com/static-assets/content-assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/rulebook/par_rulebook_en.pdf

Metal is a darkened version of the icon from page 3 of this https://www.pokemon.com/static-assets/content-assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/tcg-alternative-play-handbook-en.pdf

Item, Tool, and Supporter are color picked from the cards' text, Stadium was lightened not to cause confusion with TCG Grass.

TCG Ability takes the old color of TCG Supporter, it's very similar in color to TCG Fire, but the two colors won't interact.

:Just to add, {{template|Tcg colorless color}} would not change and stay as it currently is, if we used the colours from the sources above we would derive at something that is even closer to white than the current template, and therefore this is not desired. Otherwise I wanted to say (though as an involved party) that I support these changes. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 00:02, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

::I have come around over {{template|Tcg colorless color}} and added it to the list, like metal colour using the darker shade from the alternative play guide. I also updated the light/dark in DF's post based on our formula. I added both considered Metal and Colourless options above for comparison sake, if we wanted consistancy we would use rulebook colours but the alternative play manual colours do provide slightly better contrast in certain situations.

::: Oki slight update, added the rest of the alternative play colours, I would recommend using these as they do match the card checklists. With these colours I think the colour differentiation between grass and the regular stadium colour is enough that we dont need to do any modifications to the stadium colour, as such I would recommending using the origional colour from the card, which I also left above.

I found some ribbon colors that have been used since 2011, but after all this time, they don't have templates. We may have to change that in the future. [[User:ThunderBrine|ThunderBrine]] ([[User talk:ThunderBrine|talk]]) 23:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

:these are based on ORAS, but I think BDSP colours would be better. The other thing with these is the naming needs to be considered, both for this and the condition pages themselves, since it changes in every game. Right now the Clever and Beautiful colour templates need to be moved to match the page. The current colours from gen 6 name the conditions as adjectives, whereas in gen 8 its as a verb (cool vs coolness as an example). '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 17:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

::This would be the BDSP colours but im going to preface this by saying its an approximation, as we do not have the assets on the wiki, they probably are a few points off on the colourwheel from the actual game assets. For {{template|Contest color}}, to give it some differentiation I have two proposals both sourced from BDSP, the first is the background colour of the contest tab in a pokémon's summary screen, the second one is the colour used to highlight the [[Sheen]] mechanic, which retains its purple colour from earlier generations.
