Green. Because of the meeaning of the color itself.

Green always means good, OK, go ahead, etc.
Yellow should be when you are a bit above optimale level...since it means "caution". Probably best when the gear is 5 levels or less above your level.
Red should be for gear over 5 levels above your level since it often means "danger"

And the gray for gear over 6 levels under your levels sounds good enough to me, just showing people that is about time to ghange that armor.

Green means Go!

Yellow means Caution.

Red means No!

Simple and non-confusing.

I like Green

The current reaction in S.E office, to the abundant 'green' option

I think it should be green because it means you made the level u need to wear the gear.... green means go!

To make simple minds feel like they are part of the design process. They also make sure we see them put our fan art right on the refrigerator... before they throw it away.

Haha, let's say, a yellow light.

I think yellow is good for optimal equipment,im more used to it, i think the current colours in development are the same used in DAOC (Dark Age of Camelot) game that i played and Yoshida too, maybe he thought in these colours because daoc :)

I thought I'd seen another game use a system like this.

Yeah Dark Age Of Camelot did the same thing.

Green would seem the logical color for it. (^_^ )

Green of course! Just think of when you are 50 and equip a lv50 equip... that has a YELLOW level. Yellow more than otimal level, seems to resemble "hey, you just got out of your optimal level range"

If I may, I'm red green colour blind. I'm all for red and green to show the two different ranks, but its be nice if you could make them fairly obviously different. I've noticed most of the colours in the game are somewhat muted.

Just throwing that out there!

Voting for green too. Yellow look more like a warning.

Just think of when you hit level 50 and suddenly 90% of the gear in the game turns grey. :P

I'm sure the question has already been answered by now with the many green votes, but chiming in for green as well.

As far as the UI goes the current changes look great, still would like to see some drag and drop options coming along sometime as well. Really my only main gripe with the current UI now that targeting aetheryte crystals and retainer bells have been addressed.

Love the new changes.

Still on the fence about drag and drop.. It's a convenient system, but I like how when I scroll through my list I can see my stats rather than having to mouse over everything.

Green for optimal level obviously.

Yellow for up to +5 or -5 levels within the optimal level

Red for higher than +5 or or lower -5

I would agree with the person you quoted. It also concerns me because their UI designers should possess the education to know basic color psychology/color standards and make this decision themselves. If they don't, then what kind of people are they hiring?

On the other hand, there lies the possibility that they already decided and just wanted to create an illusion for the community. But I didn't say that.

Or they just don't care, just pick a color and enjoy ^^

I think also, Pink is a good color, or indigo.

Or in a game where you can choose your play style, you get to choose the UI colours too.

It's just a color, 1 week after the release of 1.19 everyone will forget all of that. (even if i'd like yellow !)

I would choose green. Yellow/orange/red tends to be a warning or alarm. Looking at the board and seeing if everything is a cool (blue/green) color is easy. Reading each yellow item to see if I'm at or above the correct level is hard.

Green fo shizzle

Green is related with life and approval while yellow is associated with caution courage and danger.

Green seems more appropriate.

Otherwise people would probably question why the hell Square decided to go with such a bizarre decision when a century old standard is readily accepted almost universally.

Green.

Green is accepted as a visual cue for safety. While Yellow world wide is used as a color for caution.

You never see a green sign displayed "Warning Slip Hazard "

GREEN

Green has a "confirming" or "acceptance" feel to it, where as yellow has a "caution" or "alert" feel to it.

A better form of wrong

Green .

I have a question for the SE team, are items going to be colored on the t'chat log ?!

I'd say green would make more sense. But just to make it easier to visualize, how about this: like this post if you are for green.

Like this post if you prefer yellow.

I agree - yellow to me means caution, implying the gear might not be as optimal right now. Green means go! I think green for optimal would work best.

I love the changes!!!!!!!!!!!! It is like a wish list and almost everyone was checked off with yes.
