Ginger's Newly Formated Journal
My opinions on various things around the site or other crap that no one cares about =P Whatever I feel like giving my opinion on really.
Color Inconsistency On Gaia
Purple, Lavender, Royal Purple, Whatever other shades of purple these are supposed to be.
User Image
Supposedly, the top, scarf, sleeves and shoes are all 'violet'... And I'm a Zurg in real life. While some items do go well together, there's hardly anything to match those pants besides the top that comes with it and conveniently the one I used.. As for the MCs they don't really work well with anything, aside from the Shadow Spirit.

Greens
User Image
Look at that lovely "green" balloon animal. :/ Green is great color and has many wonderful shades. While we have a lot of shades we don't have much of the same kind. The only green that matches the Grunny, are the grunny slippers and grunny shirt. At least on my search. There's so many kinds of greens we have that match nothing. The balloon animal for instance. It's so bright. D:

Oranges
User Image
It's hard to make one in orange without using a lot of Halloween items. sweatdrop Even with few items in the color it still doesn't have much consistency either. There was like one pale orange (the shirt) The tail doesn't fit anything but it's set... Since we don't have much to choose from anyway, it's just nice to have the variety. :/

I wish they would pay more attention to this color as it's one of my favorites along with purple.

"Whites"
User Image
First there's the Angelic whites... then the pale grayish kind... the Seal Slippers have a pale sort of Sea Foam tint to them... and there's stark white, off white... While it's great to have so many different whites, the gray whites are hard to come by. Especially since there's two kinds of it. The drop dead only really matches itself.

There's nothing like the Seal Slippers that I've found. However, you can make cute avis with them regardless. Still, it would be nice for Gaia to look back and notice which kind of 'white' we have the least of.. and well, use it.

Tans and Browns
User Image
This originally was going to be brown.. but there was so little to do with the ACTUAL browns that it ended up tans and lighter browns... MoMo is the only brown. Which goes to show that there's little BROWN which is why MoMo was so unpopular when he came out. Plus he's stupid positions. (but that's a different story) I don't mind so much to have a lot of tans. However we really need more BROWN.

Blues
User Image
There's quite a bit of blue on the site. There are so many different shades of it though. These pants are supposedly blue... sure they're medical pants, but the label of blue on them is false. It's no where near the actual color blue. While it can be pretty easy to find good combinations of the blues it's nice for the blues we have the least of to have more to go with.

Golds / Yellows
User Image
We have quite a bit of gold. Yellow we have quite a bit of as well. Though there's always off shades. Like the Cat items. We have feet, paws, tail and ears for it and they're some brownish yellow color that really matches nothing. I've yet to be able to use any of those items because they're so different from the other yellows and golds. Having more of that color would be nice.

The Flame sword is some strange yellow too. I haven't been able to find any yellow like that on Gaia since that item was released. When it was released that waas a big issue with it. It's still an issue that needs to be addressed. I rather like that yellow color, why can't they pay more attention to it?

Reds
User Image
Red isn't so bad, maroon is the harder thing to match. Most reds though you can manage pretty easily.

Blacks & Grays
User Image
Black is one of the easiest colors to use on Gaia. There's really no problem with it.

Pinks
User Image
This is probably the most annoying one. I love pink, I love all the shades of pink Gaia has. Some shades just don't go well together and others don't have enough to make useful. D:

What the hell color is this? This color is fantastic and I hope we get commons in a similar color.

Thanks to this article, I finally understand what's so great about matching avatars. It's way harder than it seems eek Purple and pink are the worst. Great job with the examples, these avatars all looks funny and great at the same time XD)

The last color seems similar to my current hairstyle. They call it "navy blue" but it's a weird mix of black, grey and blue...
