Well, my colour setup at the moment is really all over the place, and it doesn't look quite... right. Are there any good schemes out there that people would be willing to share? Post your best colour setup!

At the moment, I have:

But yeah, my rooms are devoid of bright colour unless there is a druid demesne. sad.gif So... what alternatives are out there?

I tend to have my colors match the "mood" I want in that channel.

Newbie and OOC clans are hot pink, Commune and Guild and Order are Black/dark red/dark purple. Most text is just white.

Something like that. The colour scheme (for rooms at least) is greatly influenced by my first MUD, whose name, if I should utter it, would probably result in a stoning.

I generally just use a colour that suits whatever the channel's for. Just a few:

Celest : Bright white
Celestines: Dark yellow
Tirita : Bright blue
Moondancers: Grey
Magnagora: Red
Nihilists: Black
Serenwilde: Green
Demesne guilds: Whatever colour the Demesne line for them is
