4th Edition color choice

@Oknazevad: I'm not fussed with the exact color if you have a better suggestion but I do think it needs to have color at Editions of Dungeons & Dragons‎ & List of Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks‎. I don't think there is an exact guidance for book series; MOS:TVCOLOR suggests selecting a releated color for TV seasons but it isn't a requirement. While red might have been the more prominent color in 4E trade dress, the tables use red for 5E so a secondary related color is fine. I also typically pull colors from List of The Simpsons episodes which should meet the color guidance but I'm open to another color choice. Sariel Xilo (talk) 23:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, the choice of the colors was always meant to match the predominant trade dress of the version, with the old basic D&D entries taking the color of their respective Basic Set box, a common way to describe them back in the day (though someone screwed that up by changing the Mentzer color, despite that being the one known specifically as "red-box D&D". I fixed it.) and the AD&D & WOTC editions following the logo colors (3/3.5 use the tan from the 3e era logo, for example). 5e used to have white text on red, which is accurate to the logo, but fails accessibility (surprises me too) so it uses a paler red. The idea was to give a bit of a visual indicator to someone unfamiliar with the edition history but who may have an old book at hand some clue as to which edition it belonged to since the PHB cover images were removed as being WP:NFCC-compliant (even though they were explicitly included for identification purposes, which is allowed under the NFCC, but I digress). As such, just pulling a random color from the TV project doesn't really fill that purpose. And red-on-white would have multiple issues, being non-accessible, and similar to the spines of the upcoming 2024 core books (which swap the colors form the 5e books to make it clear that they are the new versions).
So, to make a long story short, I'm not a fan of the blue-green color for 4e because it doesn't come from anything from 4e itself. oknazevad (talk) 00:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My issue is that the table had two "no color" entries ("Dungeons & Dragons—original edition" & "Dungeons & Dragons—4th Edition") so I gave the later one what I thought was an accessible blue (by pulling a color from a high trafficked article) because some of the 4E trade dress uses blue. So if you have a suggestion for a better color, let's use that. But I don't think "no color" works for 4E. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:30, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
