Items colors - uniques go deep orange now ?

Some where on the forums here i saw some info, about Bashiok confirming uniques color changed to deep orange ( similar to crafted items in D2). But i didnt find any official posts about it.
If its true what is ur opinion? Are u satisfied with the color? As for me , uniques had gosu color in d2, but i like crafted items color ( deep orange) even more. Amd mb someone got link to official post?

I prefer orange over purple, but to me gold will always be the best.

Agreed, if they change the color of uniques then all those years of training my eyes to spot those precious golden letters will go to waste :cry:.

If they are going to mix up the colors to accommodate the color blind, why not change the less important items like rares or crafts? The gold colored font is a staple of the Diablo series in my mind.

Uniques = Gold

Yes I completely agree, uniques = gold. That pretty much summarizes Diablo You hunt the uniques, you collect them, you stash them, you mule them, you spend too much time in the darkness whispering "my precious" and so forth.. I wouldn't want to collect purple items.. after all, it's the gold ones that are UNIQUE..

I only hunt for rares.. so if yellow stays.. thats enough for me.

Argh, I REALLY hoped it'd still be the iconic gold color. My brain has been classically conditioned to orgasm every time I see a gold colored word on a computer screen

What can I say, I used some undisclosed stimulus as my unconditioned response, and associated it with my conditional unique drops

I think orange will be fine.. uniques were junk anyways except a very few of them.

Uniques = Gold

Yes! I had a dream one time where I killed a monster and a bunch of items fell out of him. It was a good dream. You know why? Because all the names were in gold.

Also, sometimes if a penny is aged just right I have to take a second look at it.

I am not very fond of wow white<green<blue<purple.
White<blue<green|yellow<gold was second nature to me.
On the other hand other games go dark yellow for Uniques and Orange for Legendaries.
I guess that even a podium-like color code could do: Bronze<Silver<Gold, provided that a decent on screen result is achieved.

Eventually we'll adjust - and our greedy eyes shall selectively filter what we seek the most.

Back to my cave.

Hopefully this is one of those things that will be tested and modified throughout beta testing.

Agreed. I'd prefer rares to change color and keep uniques gold, but overall it really won't matter much what color scheme they use. Like you say, our eyes will be trained to see Dark Orange first should that be the final unique color.

I have no problem with it being deep orange just as long as its not purple.
I would prefer gold though i dont see the real problem since all the loot you see is yours anyway.
