What is your favorite colour scheme?

*big xplanation on why Brazil's Icon is historically correct*

Quite a nice read, thank you! I was wondering about their colors, however, not their icon - through out all of that, I'm still not sure Dark Green on Light Green was ever used in Brazil. Green was used, yes, and so was Yellow, but the two shades of Green don't seem to mean much... My only guess is that since Yellow on Dark Green was taken by India, they went with Green again or something!

[*]Morocco (I dislike this color scheme, it's jarring to the eyes and hard to read, and it makes Morocco look like Santaland)

Bah. Mere cultural baggage. "Red and green" may mean "Christmas" to us, but considering that's what Morocco's real flag actually looks like, I see nothing wrong with it.

Morocco's current flag, which is quite different from the Morocco's flag used during Ahmad al-Mansur's reign. That flag means nothing to the timeframe they are representing with the Morocco civilization, as it didn't even exist.
And it's still a pain in the eyes to read!

(Yes, I am aware that color scheme is taken)

On that, you'll get no argument from me. Morocco's real flag is hard to look at, too. So, hooray for accuracy?

Oh, the colours - yeah, you're right, I don't think that pattern has ever been used. Then again, that goes for most civs - only the primary colours are used. Portugal is actually an exception, but that's because the monarchic Portuguese flags were very simple (if elegant) colour-wise.

I voted the Shoshone! In a way it looks like a CS, but the couple black/blue (ok it's not really blue) has always been my favourite

I don't really like the venetian one :\

 

[Hruberen]

You should put pictures of the city nameplates for all the civs in the original post for those of us who like to decide our colours that way. I can link the ones I used here. What I did was open each in a new tab and move the tabs around so that they are in the order you like.

Spoiler :

For me:
1. Shoshone
2.Indonesia
3. Venice
4. Zulu
5. Brazil
6. Portugal
7. Assyria
8. Poland
9. Morocco

Shoshone is a strange one for me.

I don't really like it, but I don't necessarily hate it. It's just kind of different. I think I need to play a game with them first to see how it marinates with me

Had to vote Poland as red is my favourite colour. Portugal and Zulu are both really nice though. Brazil just seems...off to me, I'm not a fan of green and the two shades just seem weird. Shoshone and Indonesia are growing on me and Venice looks good. I don't think Morocco deserves the hate its getting. Assyria just seems bland though.

All in all a good group of colours.

1.Poland
2.Zulu
3.Portugal
4.Indonesia
5.Shoshone
6.Morocco
7.Venice
8.Assyria
9.Brazil

Purple is pretty imba. So Venice looks nice. And Brazil is nice too.

(What am I looking for? Is it distinguishable from all other civs? Do the colors blend well? And is it not damaging my brain? (like Portugal being blue/white just doesn't make any sense to it).

my dear the real colors of Portugal even in the real world are white and blue.

with or without monarchy the portuguese colours would be white and blue because it was under those colours that the country had born with, and should have always remained it.

The Assyria colors are brilliant
