Bard, Necromancer, Tinker class colors

[Sagenod]

If the Bard, Necromancer or Tinker were in the game, what would their class colors be? You could also do the color for any other potential new class as well.


Edit:

Bard - The general consensus on Bard seems to be peach, which I can get behind.

Necromancer - Seeing a lot of bone gray and putrid green. I find this hue to be fitting.

Tinker - Gray, brown, bronze and copper are some common answers. I decided to go with copper myself but bronze works well too.

What about these other 3 potential classes that will never get added either?

Apothecary
Battlemage
Dragonsworn

Bard yellow. Tinker bright blue. Necromancer Black

I too would put Bards as yellow (More of a Goldenrod colour, darker/more gold than the Rogue yellow), Tinker I'm thinking grey (Although, since grey is also used for offline players, I'm not sure this would work), and I'm think the ghost blue/green colour that Blizzard seems to have taken up as "Death Magic" for Necromancer

I think the tinker's class color would be gray, because steel and iron and machines.

Necromancer could be very light gray, because bones, or maybe black.

Bard likely could be a variation of yellow or brown. I'm going for a lighter brown.

[Teriz]

The taken colors are red, green, yellow, blue, orange, white, L Blue, Blue, Tan, L Green, Pink, and Purple.

I could imagine the Tinker's colors being brown.

[Kyphael]

Why not grey for Tinker, black for Necromancer, and yeah, I'd say brown mustard for Bard.

*In a not-so-distant future where people keep requesting more and more classes but want plans for them and keep making new threads as if they'll certainly be added at some point*

What colors should be used for the classes Bard, Necromancer, Tinker, Dragonsworn, Berserker, Shinobi, Walmart Employee, Horde Hunter, and X Æ A-12?

[Ielenia]

The taken colors are red, green, yellow, blue, orange, white, L Blue, Blue, Tan, L Green, Pink, and Purple.

I could imagine the Tinker's colors being brown.

Warriors are brown. I think gray suits them best because it's the popular color of metal.

[Kumorii]

Black doesn't work, especially with all outlines and shadows.. 50% grey or 40% could work.
Necro should be yellowish white, bone white in warhammer paint.

Bard gets none.

[aceperson]

i think tinkers would be a copper like color. like warrior brown but lighter. bards don't really have a class that's similar in anyway so it'd probably a new color scheme that hasn't been used so maybe gray or yellow. necromancers are similar to dk so i'd say like a rose red or darker pink. though i do think necromancer would just be better as a 4th spec for dk as an undead summoner since unholy is more disease based.

[Teriz]

It says here that Warriors are tan;

That said, I imagine a Tinker could possibly also be grey.

Yeah, I don't get why people believe Bards will be a thing given their near complete lack of existence in Warcraft. I even remember a tweet where a WoW developer said that they hated the idea of Bards. I'll have to find it.

That said, I am looking forward to Amunrasonther's upcoming Bard class thread.

[Kokolums]

Colors still available:

Black
Dark Green
Army Green
Neon versions of every color

[Devonitar]

I don't think black would go good with interface and fonts. I can totally see tinkers or necromancers having grey as their class color. For bards, I don't know, some shade of yellow?

[valky94]

Bard - bright yellow

Tinker - indigo blue

Necro - dark green

[LemonDemonGirl]

Bard - medium brown (color of wood for their instruments, and their leather armor)
Tinker - cyan blue (color of... Gnomish armor? Maybe I should've gone with purple instead)
Necromancer - gray (the 'Children of the Grave' would use gray, as it's the color of bones)

Teriz. Don't start, please. This isn't a "can class X happen?" thread.

Fine. What are your thoughts on my suggestion in the Bard thread? Feel free to answer there.

[Amunrasonther]

Bard - Peach
Necromancer - Dark Gray
Technologist - Gold

Please excuse my poor Photoshop skills . I had taken an image from someone who listed the current classes and their colors, and added the three new classes and colors to the bottom. However, now that I'm looking at it, for some reason the Druid color and the Paladin color have a neon looking tint that isn't their in the original image. Bah!

As I had mentioned in other threads, I'm currently working on a Bard class concept (Thank you @Teriz for the mention!). I wanted the Bard class color to be something light and close to the Paladin/Priest colors. The Necromancer class color was easy.

For a tech class, I despise the name "Tinker" and wanted something cooler and more in line with what I plan to do with my eventual tech class concept (which would include technologies from most of the other races in addition to Goblin/Gnome). Technologist is not final though. I also kind of like Technomancer. As for the color, gold seemed fitting since its a metal and all.

I'm also really happy @Sagenod made this thread. Future class colors is something I think of a lot XD.

[Ezekeel]

Honestly, the only class from those three I would like to see is Necromancer, but I actually do not care that much for it either. I manually plotted the colors (X is hue and Y is brightness) to see the gaps and such (I should have used R, it took longer than expected). I put Priest there for convenience, since it is 0% black and 0% saturated, it fits any hue.

• The problem is it is getting too crowded. In the long run, they might want to change some of the colors to create more space.
• As it was mentioned, I think peach or gold works for bard.
• All of the existing classes have rather light colors, but I think Necromancer needs a more morbid color since the other possible colors would be too close to the existing ones. The purple one is nice but it is too dark (to differentiate it from DH). The other one feels affliction-like, which could work? I have a light purple one with full saturation (comes right after Warlock), but it sort of makes your eyes bleed. The saturated green could maybe pass as toxic green, but it looks more like forest green. They would need to support it with class spells class spells, but it could work.
• I do not think they would use neutral gray for Tinker. They sometimes use shades of gray for priest, you would need a really dark gray for contrast, which could cause some conflicts with UI and such. So I tried to give a hue to Tinker. A rust-like, green-ish or brown-ish color could work for it. Honestly, they could choose any color, use it a lot with their spell animations, and we would perceive that color suits them. (Sort of like what they did with Monk.) A more bronze-like color could fit better, but it would be either too similar to Warrior or it would be too brown, and I think they do not want to have brown. They would probably use it with Warrior, Hunter, or Monk if they wanted it? If brown was possible, I would make some changes and give Rogue green. I think yellow just does not suit Rogue. Maybe Tinker could get yellow if they changed?

I imagine one of them would have that green Demon Hunters originally utilized before they switched them over to dark purple.
