Pink/Purple ink combo needs to be banned or removed via update

[Citrus]

These are also the NA Splatfest colours, so good luck Americans trying to tell these apart in even worse lighting conditions lol.

Great.

I've not actually seen this combination ingame but I can't help but think

 

[XenoPixel]

I agree completely. The pink and purple blend so well together that sometimes it's hard to see whose ink you're in. Hopefully the color lock can fix this during Splatfest.

Color Lock is not an acceptable solution because we shouldn't have to remove all color variety from the game in fear of that one combination. Nintendo needs to remove it or change the colors to contrast more.

I have a feeling when Nintendo partnered with Hasbro, Hasbro insisted on using their patented Autobot and Decipticon colors and Nintendo wasn't allowed to edit them, that's why they are the only color combination in the game that doesn't contrast.

Hopefully they are removed or edited after Splatfest, because they're a huge problem.

If worse comes to worse, tournaments can set a rule stating any team can demand that if this color combo comes up in tournament, the match must be immediately restarted (and no loadouts can be changed).

Is lack of other colors really worse than a combo that can make the game unplayable?

 

[Lonely_Dolphin]

I completely agree! I shouldn't have to strain my eyes or stop and think about what team that turf/player/weapon/etc. is on. I don't wanna imagine how bad it's gonna be during Splatfest with the lights out.

 

[Captain Norris]

I haven't had a problem with it yet.

 

[Power]

Yes, while it hasn't caused me problems, I have noticed it cause problems for my teammates. They need to fix that...

I haven't played this colour, but here's the first video I could find that shows it off (starting at 54:14):

lol I was like "how bad could it be? *watches video* "....oh jeez"
kinda sad cuz I was digging the colors when I first saw em. Hopefully more contrast from Nintendo will do the trick

Am I the only who has no trouble distinguishing between those two colours?

No, I find it easy to distinguish them as well.

 

[Flying_Tortoise]

it is easy to distinguish but in bad lighting I find myself spraying ink anyway to make sure it's really my ink and not the enemy's

Holy giant picture Batman

It's really. really, really easy to tell the difference. I don't understand the confusion. Maybe I ate too many carrots when I was younger. :P

Personally, I don't have problems making them apart, but I can see why it'd cause problems, especially with certain variants of colour-blindness.

It just wasn't a good option to add at all. Everybody who can see things fine won't be losing much if they remove the color combination.

I noticed that the purple ink was a lot darker and the pink a lot more vibrant than in the comparison shown by @River09 . I understand if you have some degree of color blindness how this combo could be impairing, but there seem to be a lot of complaints about it. I'm not trying to be rude, really, but unless all of you have some form of colorblindness its nearly impossible to get them confused.

Sorry if that came of as rude or condescending, it wasn't meant that way at all

 

[DeeWee UNub]

it's actually pretty ridiculous

on some maps it's not so bad (flounder mainly), but on maps with shadowed areas like mackerel it's actually unplayable. wails, splats, suctions, enemy players... you can tell them apart sometimes but it actually takes some thought, which is just dumb

This. Well,for me anyways. I was in a Skype call when I first came across it and all of us were complaining xD

 

[TheMH]

Well, the turf colors probably aren't that bad. The problems arise when it comes to telling apart players, krakens, bombs (enemy bombs in bomb rush, nuff said), splash walls etc. Each millisecond you have to spend with asking which color is which is a lost second.

 

[Captain Norris]

the only problems I see with the colors are splat bombs. Other than that, it is fine.

 

[Dreamy Luigi]

I can tell you it's much easier to tell apart the colors in Splatfest, much easier than it was in Squads. So far I haven't had any problems or feelings or confusion on the ink colors, not sure if it's the night setting or not, because it seems the pink is more vibrant now compared to when I was playing Squads.
