* Now that we have the color templates mostly organized and used fairly ubiquitously...do we like the colors that are chosen here? I am not a graphic designer...but some look a little garish to me. It may be that we just want lighter or very minimal color for the campaign page templates as those cover large swaths of the pages. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 13:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I think the main issue is that on scenario pages, several color schemes are now used together. Those color schemes are not a problem on hero pages, creature pages, artifact pages, etc. because then there's only one color scheme. For that reason, I suppose one way to fix the garishness issue would be to use also a single color scheme for scenario tables. Probably a blue one, since the scenario and campaign boxes are blue. --[[User:Turnam|Turnam]] ([[User talk:Turnam|talk]]) 06:49, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Now that we have the color templates mostly organized and used fairly ubiquitously...do we like the colors that are chosen here? I am not a graphic designer...but some look a little garish to me. It may be that we just want lighter or very minimal color for the campaign page templates as those cover large swaths of the pages. It's at least a nice visual reminder for now as to which tables still need to get switched over :) --Legate (talk) 13:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
