ok, so i edited the code so that the "#" symbol comes first... this way i was able to "include" it in the [[Template:color|Color]] & [[Template:prole|Player Role]] templates... that way for the color variable in both, you can just type the color or the hexadecimal, or the 3 "double-digit" code... plus you don't have to include the "#" sign, something i'm ALWAYS forgetting... i think it could be implemented into the [[Template:nchoice|Night Choice]] template as well, but i'm tired, and going to bed soon...-- [[User:LyingBrian|Lying]][[User_talk:LyingBrian|Brian]] 03:35, 21 August 2007 (MDT) | ok, so i edited the code so that the "#" symbol comes first... this way i was able to "include" it in the [[Template:color|Color]] & [[Template:prole|Player Role]] templates... that way for the color variable in both, you can just type the color or the hexadecimal, or the 3 "double-digit" code... plus you don't have to include the "#" sign, something i'm ALWAYS forgetting... i think it could be implemented into the [[Template:nchoice|Night Choice]] template as well, but i'm tired, and going to bed soon...-- [[User:LyingBrian|Lying]][[User_talk:LyingBrian|Brian]] 03:35, 21 August 2007 (MDT) | ||
ok, not going to bed as soon as i thought... i wanted to add some colors... what do you think about shortening the color names?.. for example "purple" & "yellow" are just as long as their respective hexadecimal code, (granted their a lot easier to remember, but nonetheless), and "light-green" is almost twice as long... of course i shortened it to "lgreen", but still... the major colors off the top of my head could be... | |||

why shouldn't they be the same?.. i also think that if we're going to 'name' colors they should abide by a 'standard', such as the colors in Wikipedia.
