Contests
Should contests categories use type colors? Page [1] uses its own colors.--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:
Red color light | E77E66 | {{Red color light}}
|
---|---|---|
Red color | DA3914 | {{Red color}}
|
Red color dark | 8E250D | {{Red color dark}}
|
Green color light | 71C671 | {{Green color light}}
|
Green color | 24A724 | {{Green color}}
|
Green color dark | 176D17 | {{Green color dark}}
|
Blue color light | 778DE6 | {{Blue color light}}
|
Blue color | 2E50D8 | {{Blue color}}
|
Blue color dark | 1E348C | {{Blue color dark}}
|
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~ Frozen 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 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:
{{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){{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){{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.{{TCG ACE SPEC color}}
This template was recently created, and is 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. 4iamking 08:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Just to mention,
{{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. 4iamking 16:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just to mention,
- 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. - 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. 4iamking 10:39, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

- I support the updates to the RGB and type colors. Landfish7 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? Frozen 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. - bthrussellUK (talk) 07:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

- Changed the text color so you can see how it interacts with the backgrounds. The Physical textcolor template is a big improvement on what we have currently. However the readability of Special color light and the textcolor may be challenging. - bthrussellUK (talk) 19:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Changing the Special and Status text colors isn't really a big deal. We can make them brighter and nobody would even notice they are different from the games thanks to the limits of how our eyes perceive thin lines inside chunks of solid color.

Pockets
The light and dark colors need alteration because they were taken from the game as is rather than being determined by our method, which causes issues, such as light and mid colors being almost idential or light and dark colors being totally different.

- I've added in the current middle colors to make it easier to see how the new colors work. I think these are all positive changes, and are an improvement on what we currently have. - bthrussellUK (talk) 18:50, 29 February 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,
{{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. 4iamking 00:02, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
