History Lesson Time:

The grey background was here when I got here so I just ran with it. DocTrain came up with the current info box template and the colors used within. They were picked mainly because they worked with the backgound and he liked them. As he added templates he picked different colors to go with them. There was no thought given site wide as to an overall planned color scheme mainly I think because what we had done was a massive improvement at the time.

Fast Forward to today:

Yes I do like the colors of the current loco template HOWEVER 1) that is in relationship to the current background color 2) This is an open community so I'll go with whatever the majority likes and works best for the Wiki.

I would prefer to see a site wide coordinated effort if we do change the colors just so there is consistancy in the common parts (gem purchase section and coin purchase section for example) and all the section work together (building, decorations, cargo wagons, mail wagons, pass wagons and locos and anything else I forgot). I wouldn't want to change just for change sake. I also like the idea of being in snyc with the colors used in the game. While the current background and darker tones of the theme used now I think ad a polished feel to the site, that is just my opinion and there very well may be a better option. I'll tell you what I like and what I don't like but once we have something that the majority thinks will be best I'll be behind 100% if it was my choice or not.
