What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion changes the job colors/ chat colors for certain departments/jobs that currently look too similar to each other. Right now, some colors are almost identical, making it difficult to quickly tell roles apart in chat. The biggest overlaps are:

  • Class D and SCPs
  • Site Staff (except Janitors) and Medical
  • MC&D, O5 and EC

Proposed Changes:

  • Class D Personnel - Keep current orange color.

  • SCPs - Change to a darker red-orange.
Suggested colors:

  • #ff3300
  • #e5302d
  • #fc3d39

  • Foundation Chef - Keep current tan color.

  • Maintenance Team (Tech Experts, IT, Engineers) - Switch to a grey that isn’t too close to NU-7 or ISD.
Suggested colors:

  • #c0c0c0
  • #b0b0b0
  • #707070

  • Medical Department - Switch to light blues or light greens.
Suggested colors:

  • #2ecae2
  • #00ffff
  • #87c6ec
  • #6aa84f

  • MC&D - Switch to a light purple
Suggested colors:
  • #BF40BF
  • #CF9FFF
  • #E0B0FF
  • #C3B1E1
  • #BDB5D5

  • O5 - either stay black or switch to a dark red color (to mirror A1)
Suggested colors:
  • #3e0000
  • #470000
  • #8B0000

  • EC - either stay black or switch to a dark purple color (to mirror O1)
Suggested colors:
  • #3A2152
  • #49236D
  • #380356
  • #301934
  • #1c0333



Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I couldn't find any when I looked.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  • Departments become much easier to tell apart in chat, especially in OOC chat where job titles aren’t visible.

  • Improves overall readability and prevents confusion between groups like D-Class/SCPs or Site Staff/Medical.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  • Requires development time to update the colors.

  • Some players may find it confusing at first due to the changes.

  • A few of the suggested colors may still sit close to other existing job colors.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Right now, several jobs share almost the same chat colors, which can cause confusion and reduce clarity during RP and OOC communication. Adjusting these colors to better match each role will make chat cleaner and easier to read.

Edited: Forgot to add MC&D, O5 and Ethics, but added them. :)

Suggestion Denied



Hi @DarFish3030,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

This change is uneeded really, and some of the colours you have suggested could just lead to greater confusion​
