Hmm, I'm considering purchasing a shop sign for my manse, but I really don't want it unusually coloured. For those that don't know, you can set the shop sign to any one of the 15 that are listed in CONFIG COLOUR, overriding whatever object colour the viewer actually has.

Now, while this is great for those who want the sign to really stand out, I -want- to be able to use the viewers object colour, or their room desc colour. Is it possible to be able to CONFIG COLOUR SHOP_SIGN ROOM_DESC, for example?

Please?

Why do you want a completely mundane sign, that 99% of people will overlook? I barely ever read signs now, let alone if they're not bright red or something.

It doesn't default to that?

I dunno, I see this:

A small waiting room.
A painting of Tetra, the elemental scourge is proudly exhibited on a nearby
wall. A statue of Richter stands here, memorializing his noble spirit. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. A sign here suggests you READ SIGN! Lying flat on the ground is a key-shaped sigil. An obsidian eye sigil is here. You see a sign here instructing you that WARES is the command to see what is for sale.
You see exits leading north, northeast, southwest, down (closed door), and out.
2900h, 2550m, 2860e, 10p, 13400en, 13400w elrx-

Kind of. The colors don't translate well.

Because I would like the sign to give the appearance of a physical object, not a shop device. I think it defaults to whatever is on your config color screen.

Ah, makes sense.

What if the customer is using a white background, and you set it to bright yellow, which looks just fine with black, but absolutely sucks with white?

Most of our backgrounds are black.

In the same argument, what if someone had a red background with my store? Chances of it not working either way you set it, his way or the regular way.

Well, actually one presumes that the person with a different background colour would set his colour scheme so objects are readable. In that case, what I am suggesting would still provide a good sign colour no matter what individual colour scheme is being used.

Again, he's right!
