If we go back to the old colors we still need a good color for the retired staff group and the jr. member group. I was thinking that if we go back to the old colors:

Admin - Red (ugh)
Gmod - Green
Retires Staff - a brighter purple (the one I tried before was too dark and some members didnt like it)
RM - Blue
Members - Black (white on the black skin)
Jr. Members - the gray that we are currently using for members

Another other suggestions

Junior Members - Orange (not sure about this one)
Members - Black (white on the black skin)
Respected Members - Red
Retired Staff - Grey
Admins - Blue - leave it as it is
GAdmins - Green

just tested the colours on both skins, and they definitely look a lot better on the black one. having said that, to me, orange, red and pink (ugh!!) are definite no-no's. as a retired staff member, i dont wish to be grey either.

leave them as they are.

I adjusted the gold for the RM group and the Green for the G-mods to make them stand out more against the gray and the other colors so it is easier to tell the colors apart as opposed to when they were all muted. Does that help at all?

In the meantime the "boys from the basement" - Frantik2k3 and Visigod who take care of all the techy stuff around here - want us to try the new colors out for a week or two and then see if we can live with them or not.

Please continue to give feedback, we value it.

Thanks.

on the grey background, the retired staff and member colours are too similar for my poor old eyes to distinguish them from each other. they're ok on the black background though. shame i use the grey...

Ok you old lady!!! I think I found a color that is a bit brighter that still matches and is not too green or too blue as to bee too much the admin or gmod color. And I made the members' color one shade darker of gray.

Now they all seem pretty bright but still match the group icons.
