Colour names, on character creation and tailor.

Ok im partially colour blind and i find it very difficult to choose the correct colour sometimes. I can't get over how annoying it is. For example on my stone/fire brute i had a fire aura on the costume and my friend goes..."why do you have green fire on your arms?". =( its very annoying, that i just wasted X amount of infamy on it and the fact i feel like an idiot =(.
So i think it would be helpful if perhaps the name could pop up when mouse over or right click the colours. Just a thought.

To help not clutter up the screen i'ld agree that right clicking on the colour would be more suffice.

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

/signed in principle. In fact, I wonder if it's worth considering a whole range of "Accessibility Options" for the client?

Only reservation would be what to call the colours. Imagine the top row "Black, Charcoal, Dark Gray, Not quite as Dark gray as the other one, slightly lighter gray, gray, lightish gray, silver, light gray, white"

Yes. We should certainly have this.

The greys could be listed as percentages. Or just call them all "grey", as a colour blind person should still be able to see the tonal value.

I really should do something about this signature.

Hmm could make it so it just labels the row of colours or something :S

Until such a feature is implemented, you should take a look at that costume color chart someone on the US forums made for colorblind people. I'll see if I can find it and will edit my post if I do.

I'm sure this could be implemented some how.

As to naming the colors most color values already have pretty common names so where possible they could be used
