Consistency in color pallette #9669

Open metalgearsloth opened 2 years ago

metalgearsloth commented 2 years ago

Right now content all sorta does its own thing for colors when ideally we'd just have some static class in shared with standardised colors. This will help the color pallette feel a lot better IMO. Particular areas to note:

  1. Some colors like full red / dark green are ugly and used in a few spots; dark green is unreadable and full red is too strong.
  2. Examine tooltips are inconsistent.

You can use an online color pallette picker to find some nice colors that go together or use something like http://colormind.io/

there is a palette system already which does define standardized colors in prototypes. only thing that uses it iirc is the color picker for decals
