I'm split on color actually..
My last mud was full of it, builders could do what they wanted, as could players.. it became a mess... the newbie channel alternated colors, etc.. mess

I think the next mud i'm working on, will have less colors, and more customizeation.. Let players change them if they want.

I think color is really only good for letting people know what they are looking at without really needing to read fully..

I liked having channels different colors.. this way i could easily tell which channel was used without using adjectivies (not as effective this time around though, channels won't be setup the same)..

Or if being attacked.. a color to indicate being hit or something...

but thats about it.. limited colors that seperate information or help to quickly identify things..
