General description of the issue

Medical chat color is exactly the same as the general chat color. You can't even distingiush between the two.

What you expected to happen

Readable medical text

What actually happened

Medical chat channel blended in seamlessly with general chat channel

Exxion commented 8 years ago

Definitely wasn't the case last time I saw the medical channel How long has this been happening?

ComicIronic commented 8 years ago

Need a confirmation that this is actually happening live.

Exxion commented 8 years ago

It isn't happening on the test server, at least.

Exxion commented 8 years ago

Confirmed in deadchat that the color isn't broken, just Rei can't see the difference Either a problem with his eyes or his screen

I'll leave it open in case people want the color changed to be a more obvious difference, though

SysadminJeroen commented 8 years ago

@Rei1226 check if you have colour blindness and come back. The colour is really close to the common channel but a slightly different hue.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I think that's a case of actual color blindless. Medical is Cyan, Common is Green

Either that or he's using a shitty discount screen with a temperature that would make a tungsten bulb look like a spotlight

Exxion commented 8 years ago

He said he could see the difference on a different screen, but just barely

I see where he's coming from. The colors are quite similar. Maybe a different color would be a good idea.

Megamaw commented 8 years ago

for those of us that don't play medbay, can we have a screenshot that showcases this?

Still not as bad as command blue vs OOC blue

ghost commented 8 years ago

Command blue and OOC blue are nothing alike

Killette2 commented 8 years ago

Things look more alike when they're flying at 100mph during highpop

ghost commented 8 years ago

@Killette2 you're probably too high to tell

ihadtoregisterforthis commented 8 years ago

med and comms

Same Saturation and Lightness They are very similar on a rush planes were a mistake

Killette2 commented 8 years ago

TAKE THAT BACK! Whenever an OOC shitpost storm emerges, command becomes hell to read. Medbay to common is bad, but not that bad. At least they're different colors, OOC and command are both a darker blue.

ComicIronic commented 8 years ago

We can't make medical much lighter or less saturated without it becoming difficult to read. There are only so many distinct colours to react to at a glance.

We could make command a darker green.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Medical channel needs to be made lighter and a bit closer to Cyan

I don't remember it being that dark before, did someone change it ?

Killette2 commented 8 years ago

I honestly can't say what we can do without testing and comparing different color variations.

On another note, space drugs don't exist celt. As neat as it'd be, I don't think anyone here has taken anything that makes them see rainbow colors that may distort color viewings. tips fedora

charmstruck commented 8 years ago

Something needs to be done about this. I'd like to be able to distinguish between important orders over medical comms and dumbass assistants jerking off on general comms out of the corner of my eye. This is simply impossible with the current colors, unlike every other department

Rei1226 commented 8 years ago

Would an orange work for medical perhaps? It might be a bit close to the security color, but then again you wouldn't really be listening to both medical and security channels at the same time, would you?

Killette2 commented 8 years ago

orange for medbay feels wrong on many levels, and would clash very ugly if also listening to the mining and security channels.
