User blog comment:Wildoneshelper/Removing colored comment boxes??/@comment-23204006-20131211101259/@comment-3225604-20131211130519

There are a lot of colors besides red, purple and black. "Green" (web color), "Yellow" and "Orange" are three common colors I see in most popular wikis, example: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers. I will disagree with asterisk, because it will occupy spaces from users, and not all users want an asterisk. In addition, no wiki is using this feature. Finally, asterisk is not as obvious as using a different color.

For me, color will work best. Remember, Wikia is different from Wikipedia, so "blue" can be accepted. The username only occupies not even 1% of the whole computer, so I don't think other users will suffer from seizures, unless you are using a really pure color, like 00FFFF, 00FF00, FF0000 etc.

I'm thinking of lowering the opacity of the color comment box. One reason why color is used in the comment box is that it represents the user. Still, removing the color is still fine in my opinion.

And read the remarks: "The standardized color can be changed, not always blue."
