    Regarding the FFXIII skins being thrown about: If you're going to have it be in light pastel colours I urge you to stick to 100% dark fonts. To have white on light pastel is really hard to read. Also, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a darker version for us that don't like pastels to also be made.

    Agreed, reading white off of pale pink is extremely hard.

    Is it me, or does the black text on the pale pink looks a bit rough? But maybe that is due to how the screen caps are being manipulated. :/

    Overall, I like it though.

    I agree! I was all cba about changing font color though, but yeah. It is hard to read.

    Copied certain posts out of the Colouring Book thread. If it doesn't get enough attention here in FFXIII (please contribute. Even just to name some colours you'd like to see!) then I'll move it to GC in a couple of days.

    Nobody is going to want to register on a pink forum. That is assuming you make it the default or something. Just sayin

    Yeah tbh I'm less enamoured with the idea than I was when I did it. I just liked the PS3 FFXIII console. What colours should it be?

    I'm a fan of black and hot pink. Alternatively, silver or gray with the the color pink a similar color to the color of Lightening's cape would probably work.

    I suggest a silver sleek design with pics of lightning, Odin, and Sazh.

    Would something like this work? I feel like Lightning's colours are the colours of XIII, in a way, and these colours are taken from a picture of Lightning.

    The plum colour scheme is cool. Although where'd you get the green from?

    I like it!

    Though let me just say, whatever we go with please PLEASE give links a separate color. I want to use fluffy puff but the links and the default text are both black and I miss them all the time.

    The green is not directly taken from the picture, it's more of a result of my trying to get one colour out of the whole vest/shoulder pads thing she has going on. It might need to be more neutral or silvery though. I dunno!

    Sure they will, it just depends on what shade you use. There are all sorts of combinations that can make a shade of pink look good.

    I think this is too much pink. It needs other colours with it. This is basically like mixing salt with... more salt. Because of how much pink stands out, I feel it needs other hue to balance it out.

    As much as I like the black and blueness of a lot of EoFF's skins (they are my favorite colors after all), we really do have enough of that. Rantzien's idea with more red and white would be lovely o:
