24+1 Player Color Codes

[OnGe]

You may find color codes for 12 players all over the internet. Since we have 24 players now, it is kind of outdated. Also note that predefined colors you may find in editor does not match player colors.

Here are colors for all 24 players + neutral, taken from color displayed on starting location. It is most close to ingame color as possible. So, this is current Warcraft III: Reforged player color palette.

(some colors are hard to see because of background - watch out)

Need to display colored name of player? You may easily do that with player color code index. In attached map you find trigger containing color index and simple loop that display each player color. You may easily modify message, use Number of Triggering player (or Owner of Triggering unit, etc.) instead of Integer A and use it for whatever you need.

Few tips about colors:

• Obviously, dark colors are hard to see on dark background and light colors on light background. Think about it when tweaking with colors at UI and messages.
  
• Important message should be colored in way to be easily readable. White is best in most cases, very bright colors are fine too. But if you put white and light blue on text messages with Ice Crown tileset, it will be hard to read. If you change name of hero to player color, you make brown, purple, coal, navy (and neutral) players virtually unreadable.
  
• Colors look different bit depending on their surroundings.
  
• High contrast of text and background is important for good readability for anyone, but even more important for people with less than perfect vision. That means most of the worlds population.
• There is few percent of people with color vision deficiency (colorblind) who see colors differently than rest of the world. For example red and green may seem fairly similar. This is the reason why common competing team colors are Red and Blue and not Red and Green.
• Player colors are not optimal. Dont blame Blizzard for that - there is not enough optimal colors for 24 players.

I am inclined to graveyard this since this tutorial exists already: Warcraft III Color Tags And Linebreaks

My thinking is I just go and throw in the last 12 colors to make it up to date.
You are welcome to try and outdo the mentioned tutorial by adding something beyond the list, I'll get back to this eventually and see if I have changed my mind.

Graveyarded.

As I mentioned in the other post, I added the last 12 colors to the existing tutorial to cover up the main flaw.
