Better lighting?

Some of these sheen colors are undetectable. Agonizing Emerald for example, I had no clue what sheen color I was looking at. Is there no way of getting some better lighting to accentuate the sheens? I'm certain the wiki has other sheen images that show the sheens off beautifully. 404UNF (talk) 05:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Also the larger images seen in User:Hinaomi/sandbox/Template:Sheens looks a lot better than having all that extra whitespace around the 100px images in the current version. 404UNF (talk) 05:08, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Use of outline

Hi, folks.

What do you think about the {{outline}} template? Edits got reverted twice, so please let's have a civil discussion this time.

I personally think it's a good idea, since it makes so white text on certain colored backgrounds isn't as hard to read.

Additionally, I don't think that reverting edits because "this is the only page that uses it" is a valid counter-argument. There's no reason to not improve things. — Tark lm(pt-br) 02:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Pictogram cross.png No For me, it's for consistency. I don't like the idea of using the template to highlight a word. Sure, it's more readable, but we can just simply remove the color from the nameplate instead of adding another template to workaround it. And not to mention that this templates and Template:Killstreakers are the only templates that use the color name plates based on effect colors.

Pictogram plus.png Support Much nicer to read with the outline imo, and as Tark said - no reason not to improve things. Killicon flaming huntsman.png VasyaTheWizard (talk) • (contributions) 06:35, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Edit without outline, Edit with outline (Just for comparison). It personally doesn't make much difference for me, but I understand if it does for others. I'd prefer if it was done on every name for consistency (At the very least, put it on Mean Green, too. I have the most trouble reading that with its current background).

Pictogram neutral.png Neutral I can understand the concern for consistency here, however that can be retained by adding said template to similar elements or simply keeping it exclusive to sheens/killstreakers. It would be essential to use it on the rest of the cells as Swood suggested, as that would retain some level of consistency as well.
Overall, it doesn't make that much of a difference but it's a nice touch. On the contrary, I have mixed feelings on the backgrounds - they do a fine job highlighting each sheen/killstreaker - but it may also be a bit too much visually due to the bright background colors, so whether that should be kept or not is up for debate.

Pictogram comment.png Little of column A, little of column B I'm all for consistency and if it's being used here then something similar should be put into place on other templates where text can be hard to read. As well, I'm not sure if all browsers support the styling used to make the outlines yet. That's something to look into before moving forward. 404UNF (talk) 03:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
It is supported by most browsers. [1] [2]
re: backgrounds: how about colored text on black background instead? Something akin to {{War Paint Gallery}}Tark lm(pt-br) 03:59, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
I can do the preview real quick. Here is the preview (Still prefer smaller size, rather than make it fit the page width with uglly spacing.) User Hinaomi Hinaomi-sig.png Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 12:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
This one looks quite nice too. I'm having a bit of trouble with the Villainous Violet as it doesn't really stand out from the black background, but then again I'm red-green colourblind so it might just be 'an issue on my end'. What do others think about this one? Killicon flaming huntsman.png VasyaTheWizard (talk) • (contributions) 12:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────I was already thinking we should add a colourblind option, but I'm not really sure how to/if that's possible.

I can set the color to use the custom instead of using clase="nameplate", this was the example about how it look if we use the dark bgcolor w/ color texts. User Hinaomi Hinaomi-sig.png Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 16:15, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
