So, i've been trying to decide 2 colors combination for skin.

Window Background color is dark, while the elements color is the background color but a little with more 'light'.
And then, the font color something that can be easily seen on the element.


What combination would you think it's the best?

The only one i tried was Dark Blue and Orange for the font color, but i don't think they fit too well.
Skyblue and silver
var/BG_Color = rgb(0, 45, 89)
var/_Color = rgb(15, 131, 255)


This is a blue color mixture, for the Blue Lovers like myself. It'll look similar to Makeii's blue color scheme, but it's not :P

This is what it looks like together:

In general one of the colors - either the background or the text - should be very close to black or white. On that website , put the cursors in the boxes all the way to the top right. Then slide the color wheel around. You will see that it almost always looks terrible - the best combo in that case is probably yellow on blue, which is still grating to look at.

That site is also cool because it can give you a simulation of what things look like to people with various types of color blindness.
This is what I use for my code:

background: 0C000C (rgb 17, 0, 17)
foreground: 9D79BB (rgb 157, 121, 187)

Black with lighter colors for me.
Here's my code format:

You guys should provide rgb values, since the OP is looking for a scheme to use in their game...
Open in image in like, any image editor, use eye dropper, get values.
You could also use a tool called ColorPic, it's something that sits up on your desktop when run, and then anything you move your mouse over, it will give pixel precision rgb, and hex values for the color you are currently hovering over.

I use it sometimes to snatch realistic colors for games.

Magnum has the coolest colors :P
I thought I was the only one that used black in the background, it's awesome that I'm not :P
When you get older (I'm 28) your vision starts to hate the color white (you'll see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater s). Hence, dark background to withstand the hours and hours of sitting in front of code.
I love that scheme magnum, reminds me of the old monochrome amber monitors :)
But the color is for a game skin not DM :O
So? If you like the colors then use them...

You guys are a little slow on the draw with posting your preferences.
That isn't the point of this thread. I only posted mine because it's a scheme that I like, and I thought the OP might like it for their skin
