Yeah, I refuse to play games that use numerous colours in a single item name or room description. Sorry, but it makes your game look like it's aimed at 8 year olds. When you overuse colour, it loses all its meaning.
I do actually allow coloured room descriptions on Abattoir but the builder has to clear it with the head builder first. One way in which we use this is in highlighting key phrases in our instructional area for newbies. Hopefully more experienced players who think the same way that I do will recognise this as being a valid usage and aren't discouraged before they complete that area!
