Since the old picture was moved to Color-Coded Characters, this is to discuss a new picture.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

The thought crossed my mind to just put a chart of colored hex codes since it appears to be an index, but I don't think that'd go over well.

How about this pic from Sluggy Freelance?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up] I don't think we're going to be able to read that once it's scaled down.

[up] Perhaps if we crop it.

[up] Maybe. I can't tell they're yeti at all, though. I would guess it's a bunch and cats and bears and rabbits put in wrapping paper.

How about two otherwise identical-looking RTS units? That genre depends almost entirely on color-coding to tell players apart.

I've really liked all suggestions so far. As it is, the Sluggy one is good, and the wiki sized version is readable so it's clear they're all the same species. The traffic light would also be very funny.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I like 8-1. 8-2 is good as well. I don't really like the Sluggy one, though. It's design as well as color.

   Evil is my favorite color.

I like the traffic light pic.

Both pictures from post 8 are good. 8-1 has a slight advantage, since it's from a work of fiction.

I prefer the traffic light, as the other ones are about Colour-Coded Characters.

I completely forgot that trope existed. I definitely support the traffic light, then. It amuses me greatly.

In that case, the traffic lights are great. It has all the ingredients a good trope picture needs: It's clear, it's concise in being uncluttered and fairly minimal, and it's even somewhat witty.

Alright, we seem to have settled on traffic light. Should I add the page pic or should we wait a bit?

Green means go, red means stop, yellow means floor it!

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

[up] I like that. It also reminds me of a joke I've heard a couple of times. waii
