A New Class Means a New Class Color - Evoker Class Color Revealed

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Death knights use the color that used to be reserved for hostile mobs, so what's the problem? Just put a different shade to it.

You could get hostile mobs in your raid frames?

[Larry Gungus]

I honestly thought it would be a more royal red kind of deal. A color's a color so it's fine I guess.

honestly i was expecting a pride flag

Nah it would have to be a scalie flag.

[Ielenia]

You could get hostile mobs in your raid frames?

Ugh.

Fine.

How about picking one of the existing colors that doesn't already have a duplicate in the roster, then?

[Au-burn]

Why not red. Red would match Alextitsah.

[Khaza-R]

I feel like a shade of orange or red would of been better than another shade of green

[ro9ue]

It looks like a Monk who's out of range.

[Redwyrm]

Can't use black? Combination of other colors.

[Twdft]

It looks like a Monk who's out of range.

Yeah, it's pretty close

[Vegas82]

And the real reason they don't do new classes is revealed. They can't color code for shit and it takes years for them to come up with one distinctive enough to add a new class.

[Redshirtz]

Why not make it gold or dark silver or something..

[FelPlague]

... They could've gone with an unique color like grey, dark grey or black... and they went with green, a color that not only already exists, but we got two shades of it already: monk and hunter.

imagine trying to read a black name in chat... yeah no. and grey is hard to make far from white without getting super dark, whcih does the same thing anyways.

[Rootsbum]

On a scale from dragonscale to 10, I dragonscale what color they choose

[FelPlague]

Why not make it gold or dark silver or something..

gold aint really a "colour" its literally more so metallic yellow. so gold in this sense would just be a slightly different shade of yellow.

same with silver, silver and gold heavily rely on them being mettalic, without the mettalic sheen they are simply yellow and grey.

[kiramon]

People are complaining about the class color? I've seen everything xD

Literally described how critical color is for identifying a class.

Also something that will follow the class around for the remainder of the life of the game, unlike talents or skills or almost anything else.

[Mister K]

It looks like a Monk who's out of range.

You will get used to it. My out of range is just very dark square.

The colour is totally fine people, focus on feedback on actually what matters

jeez..

[Snorlax]

Filler color for a filler class

Dunno if you've ever worked in Interface or UI design beforer, but tbf, color selection is not "easy." It has to work across a ton of different variables and use cases. It's easy to critique it just looking at raid frames, but where else is it used? Any designer worth his salt was testing multiple possibilities of multiple hues across various use cases through the whole game...this dark green may very well been the best out of an exhaustive list of options.

(edit: also, accessibility and color blind tests. Contrast differences is a bitch to manage. If you have Deuteranomaly, Evoker and Monk look very different compared to Warrior, Rogue, and Hunter which look very very similar.)

[TbouncerT]

Is it a monk or is it a hunter? My monitor is crap so I can't tell.

time to get a new monitor my friend. lol

[matheney2k]

It's still perfectly distinguishable from the other two, so what does it matter?

It's kind of not though I could look at that color and easily mistake it for monk

[tankelele]

why theres ukrainian flag with paladin inbetween
