Issues[edit source]

There are four main things that bother me about this page right now:

The boxes don't line up as they aren't all the same height. They should all look identical since they're in a grid format.
Do we really need that image (which seems incomplete) and the table? I'd rather just go with the table.
On longer names, like "Transparent Fluorescent Reddish-Orange", the text is so ridiculously small in its table cell that it's impossible to read.
There's no easy way to navigate the grid. Yeah, they're in numerical order but that means nothing. Trying to find a particular colour in that table is near impossible. Something that would be very nice would be a JavaScript interactive grid that would have a search bar at the top of the table where you can type in something like "green" and it will show you only things that fit your search query. This will make finding colours even easier, especially transparent ones which are hard to identify by an opaque colour swatch.

Agreed on all points. This page really needs an overhaul. Berrybrick (talk) 01:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

The boxes don't line up because of the header text. Some of them had reduced text size in an attempt to make them have similar heights. If you have a CSS fix for to force them to all be the same height, go ahead.
Removed the image- I think the only reason I didn't remind it before was because it reminded me of the old days when LegOtaku used to wow us with templates :P
JS- if you want to do it, be my guest :P
I also think we should remove that LDD section eventually. If colours are grouped like that, that may be worth having in an infobox. But I don't think they're grouped like that anymore.

- Yeah, I went ahead and removed the LDD section since it serves no purpose anymore (if it ever really did). The Greyscale section could use some rewording as well (or maybe just remove it) since it's an utterly dumb fact and kind of unusual that it deserves its own section (other colours have changed over the years like brown and aren't noted on the colour palette article; it's more of a fact that belongs on the respective colour article solely). --ToaMeiko (talk) 03:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
