Can we please give the Secretariat different colors?

[United Massachusetts]

OK, so this may not even warrant it's own thread, but I thought it would be easy enough, so here I am.

The Secretariat color masking (right now, some hideous shade of golden-brown) is absolutely horrid, and I think one or two GA members have concurred with me on this. So, here's a couple proposed colors:

Christian Democrats
Christian Democrats
Christian Democrats
Christian Democrats
Christian Democrats
Christian Democrats

even hot pink looks better (let's slap some social democratic feminism on CD here)

Christian Democrats (well, it's better than what we have now)

Like, anything but what we have now. Heck, GenSec could even decide its own colors. Just not that thing.

Sorry if this request seemed seems spammy or unproductive; perhaps you should make a "very small requests" thread on Technical.

HHHOOOTTT PPPIIINNNKKK!!!!!!!!!

I have been pushing for hot pink for ages!

EDIT: Note that your color has to look good both for the Light theme and the Dark theme.

Hot Pink does.

Hot Pink does.

Oh, does it? Imagine that...*whistles innocently*

Pink, in all it's shades, is a crime against nature, God, and mankind.

Frankly, It should be destroyed.

Nonsense. Patent nonsense.

I have no objection to our current color scheme, though I'd be happy with the IEs' old seared-steak shade of brown. Hmm...

Bears Armed

Meh.

The problem is that now that the IEs have moved to orange, literally every good color that is also clearly distinctive from the other colors is taken. I've always liked the RP Mentors' teal - since that's basically our job, is to guide the GA the way the Mentors advise role players, that would be a perfectly acceptable color as far as I'm concerned.

Bears Armed

That's what I'm talkin' about!

...*whistles innocently*

Suuuuuuuuuure.

Hot Pink is the ONLY logical answer!

That color looks hideous on a light background. Nearly unreadable.

Looks good to me. Perhaps we want the shade of blue used by the actual UN (#5b92e5)

Oh, I like that one a lot. The one objection I foresee is that it's almost identical to the "already clicked" color used in NS hyperlinks. But I'm OK with that if Admin is.

Meh. It doesn't have the underline, so people should be able to tell.

As far as I know, from when we changed our own colours, blues/reds/purples are out cos they're admin and mod colours.

But the RP people have blue-ish. I mean, it's different enough.

If not, hot pink!

[Fauxia]

@UM I love your second color on dark.

[Christian Democrats]

As far as I know, from when we changed our own colours, blues/reds/purples are out cos they're admin and mod colours.

Surely, we could find a blue that's sufficiently different.

UN blue is.

I'm just passing on what I was told. Y'all can take it up with Fris.

And we will. No one messes with GenSec on legality issues.

[The Sherpa Empire]

Out of all the suggestions so far in this thread, hot pink is the best. It is not too hard to find a shade that is readable on both light and dark backgrounds, and it is not too similar to admins.

[Bananaistan]

White is clearly the best.

[The Free Joy State]

White is clearly the best.

Well... the GA Secretariat might be invisible on light backgrounds without even needing the invisibility function.

You (general "you") might prefer that, though...

I think hot pink would work great. It stands out on all backgrounds and is immediately distinct from other categories (IEs, admins, mods).
