Trowicia Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 While I don't favor Black/Red color schemes for myself (I've seen some people use them with a compliment of white and it looks GORGEOUS) I can't see myself ever mocking someone or bullying them because they prefer to represent those colors. I feel like every player should be able to free willingly represent their favorite colors without any backtalk, "edgy" colors or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a legitimate case about bullying. But in terms of your claims re: color, there is no evidence to suggest, even anecdotally, that black and red is universally the most pleasing color combination to the eye.

How is it full of Clem? It's popular because it's physiologically speaks to the individual. Red is a stand out color of power and/or love. Add that with a monochrome mix, makes the red stand out further. That wiki really is the proof XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That red is a color that stands for emotion tells us NOTHING about how pleasing it is to the eyes. Walk into a red room and see what I mean.

Smilomaniac Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) It's a classic color combo that works well. People complain about it because it's often used, calling it "edgy" because anything that's remotely dark or "cool" may come off as semi-juvenile - God forbid you admit you actually might enjoy it! While I might use the word occasionally, I honestly hate it. It's a way to just dismiss someones taste or opinion. I'm over 30 and I still enjoy 40k'esque "grim dark" settings. I think it's awesome. Poor taste? Maybe, but this is for enjoyment/entertainment, not art critique. If anyone treats Warframe as if it should be, they're honestly being a bit snobby and very pretentious. Spoiler (^ Pardon the clutter - I'm not rearranging my stuff for one example ^) (^ My contribution for Hydroxate's community picks, while using gold also relies on the red/dark combo ^) Bring your edgy frame-game, I want to see more people embrace it.

Game Theory had a video about the differences between the colors blue and red in gaming, and blue is said to improve gameplay in strategic games while red improves gameplay in aggressive games. So red and black is probably a fitting combination for Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorClipClop Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) No Tenno should be abused for their colour schemes. But Red&Black on everything is perhaps the least creative option in a game that gives the player tons to work with. It's no surprise that players who overuse it get picked on and, while the criticism isn't put in the nicest of ways, it's still pretty valid. To put a positive spin on this idea, the (constructive) criticism boils down to this: get creative! Try going for colours beyond the 3-4 tones from the top and bottom rows of Classic Saturated. Experiment with adding additional accent colours (white, purple, brown, etc.). There's nothing inherently wrong with the ol' red and black (my favourite Inaros loadout is styled after the Grineer Nightwatch Corps), but using just two basic colours is a missed creative opportunity. EDIT: Smilomaniac here shows us some Red/Black done right. While still very clearly edgelord colour schemes, this Tenno puts in some extra ideas that make the FashionFrame work really well. Note that Nidus is using quite a bit of grey so his details don't get lost, and Titania has a white energy colour that really pops right out. 45 minutes ago, Smilomaniac said: Spoiler It's a classic color combo that works well.

Haters gonna hate, welcome to the Internet. So anyhow, not that it matters but personally I don't really care what someone else's Frame looks like. Go to the Relay on Baro Day and you'll just see all kinds of stuff going on. IF someone has a style that appeals to me then I'll toss them a "nice looking (warframe-name)" message. If not, then whatever if they like it no matter how fUgly I think it is, it's their thing, not mine. The exception to all that is super obnoxiously bright energy colors but that's still pretty rare for it to reach a point where it triggers me. And that pretty much has just come from the love to hate it SS+Mirage combo with bright white energy and the very rare Vauban who does the same and loves to toss our Vortex bombs right where the fighting is heaviest. You just can't see anything past that drek and trying to just makes your eyes bleed. =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
