Forgive my (slightly obnoxious) curiosity, but one thing I've never been able to grasp, is why a lot of people use colour for the dialogue in their posts? It doesn't serve much of a purpose so... If anyone could explain to me the idea behind it? It's only a matter of curiosity, btw, not a critique!


Just to be visually appealing.

To give visual appeal, help dialogue stand out more, and it can help to give a stronger sense of personality for the character.

It's both for visual appeal and because it's a force of habit for me by now. I'm in an RP where I run a lot of characters, so the different colors help to differentiate between them.

Suddenly wondering if I should find it ironic that people make my eyes bleed when reading the dialogue against the site's backdrop in attempts to make their posts look better.

Yeah, that shade of blue is pretty atrocious, @Sho Minazuki. I'd recommend switching out for a lighter color.

Oh no, I figured you weren't. Casual observations transmit via text much smoother than sarcasm. XD

Speaking of finding new shades, can I request @Lmpkio to use another shade than red? It's really difficult to read.

Not quite the same, but close. But red is still very difficult to read on the site's backdrop.

@kapuchu That red fits Gideon the most, so I'm not sure if I can find a good replacement color. If you find one that's better, by all means please show it to me.

@Kafka Komedy It appears so

Well, I'm personally a bit against colouring dialogue, but I'm requesting a change simply because it is literally difficult for me to read. Having to lean close and squint to see what's written.
