Text color for doll text

Post by Yukie Hatsumi »

Hey all,

Just wondering what the rules are for text color when posting? I read through the ROC, TOS and newbie welcome guide and didn't find anything definite. I did a search but dozed off around page 5 so I apologize if it's already been addressed.

Are there any text colors Doll accounts can't use?

There isn't really any rules for text colour really - it's more like a convention or a tradition that has developed over the time that dolls have been posting here. Usually that just means we highlight doll names in a pink colour. Sometimes we give our "significant other" human's names or text a blue highlight. It's not really compulsory, sometimes I don't bother if I'm using M's phone (it's a PITA to highlight/quote etc. on a smartphone).

Don't think there's any forbidden colours. Probably wouldn't use red as that's often reserved for mods/admins on some sites, not noticed on here though.

There's no real rules, Lynne pretty much said all there is to be said. Some dolls do post exclusively using the #FF00FF colour though.

All would say is always bear in mind the background colour of the post field, some colours are particularly hard to read against it but generally speaking black is just an accepted colour that has a good contrast and has been proven to be easy to read.

And if your a colour geek like me, you might like to customise for a more personal hex # .. https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_mixer.asp as our pre-selected colour palette is limited.

I just wish I could set the colour in a settings menu. It's a pain to do manually, or so Yui tells me. ;P

Hey Sodium, tell Yui she can copy the hex# somewhere she won't lose it. For instance if she liked this hideous 1970s wallpaper green, she could just save a note with the hex: #948200. Then whenever she makes a post with that colour, she can just copy it to the text editor.

Hi Slew,
thanks. I was going to match my text to the doll color but I find it a bit difficult to read so yeah, I'll be going custom
:D

I like to use the #FF00BF color! It’s so pretty!
On an apple device put a code for the color in your shortcuts in settings
