Forum:Color of The Sims 4

What color should the theme for The Sims 4 be? Our Polish neighbors over at pl.sims.wikia have chosen a very nice shade of purple: Can be seen here. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 15:47, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

I think that looks very good. I personally like it better than the shade of blue that is being used now because it looks too similar to the current Sim2 template. I don't know if it is similar to others, however. — Icemandeaf (talk) 16:02, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not crazy about that purple, to be honest. For what it's worth, the reason I set the colors for TS4 to be what they are currently is because those are the colors of the in-game GUI. My idea was to adjust the TS2 colors instead, so that the TS2 colors match the TS2 GUI (which is a darker shade of blue). I hadn't gotten around to that, though. In any event, if we choose to change the TS4 colors, I'd prefer we pick a color which is a little closer to colors used in the game or the game logos. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 16:28, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * The Sims 4 blue seems to be a slightly darker shade than The Sims 2 blue. The difference is noticeable, so we could use that. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 16:42, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's actually more like the opposite (speaking about the blue border on the lettering). TS2's is darker. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 16:46, June 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * ....I can barely tell the difference, think the white part of The Sims 2 logo is making it difficult to distinguish. Although The Sims 4 logo starts of brighter at the top and darkens as you go down. I'm guessing we're using the brighter color? --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 16:49, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * When I was picking out the colors, I opted to use the lightest ones I could find for TS4. A lot of the colors came from images of the Gallery since that seems like a good representation of the in-game colors. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:09, June 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe if the background color was also a shade of light blue instead of white, it would give a feeling of gradient blue like the logo does. And that way might give the difference between the two as well. Just a thought. — Icemandeaf (talk) 17:33, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

A lighter shade of blue would be more practical for The Sims 4. It seems to be the dominant color for current TS4 themes, logos, and backgrounds. If we were to use blue for the TS4 theme, there should be a great enough difference between TS2 blue and TS4 blue. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 04:58, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

Conclusion
A lighter variant of blue will be used for The Sim 4's theme. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 20:29, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
