What determines the colour of your city banner?

[NotSoLoneWolf]

for my mod, the Dominion of Canada, I have the primary colour set to red and the secondary to white, but the city banner is black with red text! Anyone know how to fix this? Picture:

make sure that primary and secondary values are between 0 and 1

Primary does city name text, and secondary the background of the nametag, though it darkens the colour a bit. Add to that the fact the tag is semi-transparent unless you mouseover.

I see nothing unexpected on the screenshot. Red text on (grey-ish) white on the nametag.

If you look in the CivBEPlayerColors.xml you will find that all of the presets have a Text Color tag associated too. The background will be a gradient, your Secondary Color at the bottom, phasing upwards into a blacker color. Some appear lighter than others, just have to fiddle to get it right, but the Text Color is the Text Color you would set as you would expect

I would advise against light backgrounds as well. As good as red and white look together, sadly the banner and score icon just won't come out right.
