If Minecraft had 32 colors

[/u/Isjoni]

Minecraft currently has 16 colors including the grayscale. These satisfy most of the average players everyday needs but I still find myself thinking that more color variety would be nice for those cases where the right color doesn't quite exist. Of course more colors means a lot more blocks and items, and too many could lead to a situation where the average player can't tell the difference between two similar hues. Therefore I settled on 32 colors, including the original ones, since it allows for recognizable differences and since it's an even "minecrafty" number. The orange and purple sections of the color circle are larger compared to the others since their tertiary colors are less distinguishable to the human eye and therfore redundant. Naming the colors is a bit difficult but I gave it a try, doing my best to pick somewhat recognizable names where I could. The lists goes from the darkest to the lightest hues of a color and the new colors are written in bold. Reds: Maroon Red Salmon Oranges: Brown Orange Tan Yellows: Citrine Yellow Mimosa Yellow-greens: Olive Chartreuse (or lime green) Mindaro Greens: Pine Green Mint Blue-greens: Teal (which is current cyan) Turquoise Bermuda Blues: Navy Blue Cyan (which is light blue, because the current cyan is more teal-like it's very confusing) Purples: Byzantium Purple Mauve Magentas: Berry Magenta Pink Grays: Black, Dark gray Gray Light gray White These names are obviously not perfect so an alternative or additional feature could be to prefix the darker and lighter colors as "dark color" and "light color". It's just that personally I find it more neat to have a specific name for each individual color. Also as a last thing, I know this will never make it to the actual game but hey, a color loving man can always dream right? submitted by /u/Isjoni [link] [comments]
