Color palette

Hey, for the Asura palette, it seems the wiki doesn't know LightSlateBlue. So, which color is it ? What I find when doing research is #8470ff, which really doesn't match the background color you chose for the asura. -Alarielle- 13:30, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

This might be also one of those odd duck colors to match, honestly. Funny, the table that I usually use doesn't have it, either; I was probably spacing out and mislabeled the color--try something like RoyalBlue. I was trying to find colors that would set off the softer colors without being too heavy. Redshift 13:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok, ran a couple of previews with your boxes; how do you feel about SlateBlue? Redshift 14:00, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Already better, but still a little too blue compared to the mauve-ish background. I'm using it here in case you want to check out. -Alarielle- 14:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

We can also just try matching the wiki visited link color, which I'm told is #0b0080

...This is pretty much how my brain functions. Redshift 14:07, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok, honestly, after trying all these matches, I like the near-match #ACA3BF the best. It goes with it because it's a near match, and it's not too heavy or distracting without being too overtly blue. Redshift 14:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I'll use that last one ; it's the one that looks the best, I think. Thanks ! -Alarielle- 14:37, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Agreed; with all the others the border jumped out too much. The boxes are looking good, btw. Redshift 14:41, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
