with hi19's first one i can barely tell the difference from 5-9, and with the blue one 2-3, 4-7, 8-10, 11-12, all look the exact same to me

There already in order anyway.

ultra-specific difficulties wouldn't matter much anyway, so I don't think the lack of a large contrast would really matter.

Nice idea though.

I think hi19's first scheme is much better, but 13 needs to be something more special.

Although I suggest a more sensible color scheme:




@itmorr: I don't think that the % was modulo. I think the OP meant more like "Make the percent difficulty reflected in the color"


EDIT-This would especially make sense, seeing as jimerax's new file rating scheme has difficulties listed out of 100, you could just make the background the following:

Lum: 150
Sat: 210
Hue: 1.4 * difficulty rating
Not such a great idea for everyone. I am colorblind and I know other people are too. Just look at five through nine, they're pretty close in color. I'm sure a fair amount of people would have trouble with this, which means this idea wouldn't help the whole population of FFR.

EDIT: Already been said, but i'll leave the content of this post here anyway.

I happen to be color blind too and i can't see the difference between some pairs in 5-9. I think that colors is a GREAT idea but it needs more contrasting colors

90% of men are some kind of color blind.

This idea isnt exactly bad, mabye something besides colors could be used, like a little number in the upper left hand corner of the square or something.

Colours FTW. Even though I wouldn't care for colours because i've been here so long I already know what difficluty most songs are.

It would be more of a visual improvment for me.

I still think a little number in the corner would be just as effective, easier to implement, and solves any color-blindness issues.

Depends...for most colorblind people, they have problems distinguishing red and green. A few have problems with the color blue: they would see a green sky and a pink sun...no seriously.

I like this color scheme idea, and for colorblind people, I also agree that there should be some kind of legend to indicate colors and difficulty.

Sometimes it can be embarrising when you are in school, and a conversation goes something like this:

Me: "Hey"
SoandSo: "Yeah?"
Me: "Sorry, but what color is the second band on this resitor?"
SoandSo: "WTF?"
Me: "Yeah, im kindof...colorblind, so yeah can you help?"
SoandSo: "Are you serious?"
Me: "Yes"
SoandSo: "So what does it look like to you?"
Me: "I dunno, I can't tell, thats why im asking you."
SoandSo: "Oh, yellow."
Me: "Thanks"
SoandSo: "Hey."
Me: "Yeah?"
SoandSo: "Sucks for you."
Me: "Thanks."

Anyone else have convos like this? I have multiple times.

i have troubles with red and green. my friends laugh at me when we play poker, when red and green chips are mixed together, i cannot tell them apart, but i can identify each individual chip's color.. it's weird, it's not that bad.

Couldn't we just add an option where you can change the colors for difficulty or just leave them blue?

i like hi19hi19's colors better because its lighter and easier to see. but i think it's a good idea instead of clicking on the songs to figure out how difficult the songs are. but i think it would get inpractical for people who already know all the song places and the difficulties. good idea but it's mostly for noobs, which they probably won't understand the colors anyways.
