Rainbow Lounge

I've finally finished making plain text versions of all the color lists. My next step is to add each of them in a text box on each post, but for now, they can be found in the Google Docs repository. (there is apparently a way to hide things from screenreaders but not from sighted people, so I'll be doing that so people don't have to listen to the same list twice)

The text box will look something like this:

acanthus Made by shipwreck_light Theme: Props 1. Sword 2. Stone 3. Pin 4. Quill/Fountain Pen 5. Dart 6. Paring Knife 7. Skeleton Key 8. Silk cord 9. Fireplace poker 10. Spade 11. Baton 12. Broken bottle 13. Scissors 14. Gunpowder 15. Matches/lighter/flint 16. Belt 17. Wire 18. Razor 19. Nail 20. Candlestick

Accomplishments is the only page that isn't art themed and imo, the name is easy to confuse with the goals/challenges. I propose that we rename Accomplishments to Masterworks, Masterpieces, or Showpieces.

Additionally, does anyone have any objections to me modifying some of the accomplishments to better match the theme of it, add supplies and styles that are less used, and maybe add more colors or palettes to them?

Added three more Accomplishments. There will be one more (prototype - for the first person to use a color), but I have to finish the art for it

There are now generic goal completion banners for everything but the Palettes. You might want to check your records - I know especially for styles there are folks that probably can take some (or request some).

I've add Questions and Answers (taken from comments from various pages) to everywhere that seemed appropriate. As always, if you have questions or suggestions, the best place to ask is in RainbowLounge, because that's where we're most likely to see it. You can also DM us.

So. Many. Palettes. https://rainbowlists.dreamwidth.org/32949.html

If you have any ideas, please let us know. I have one or two more ideas, but I have only one brain (and it needed a rest, let me tell you...)

Styles is updated! New styles! Mobile friendly!

Some rewording done and Q&A added. Please let me know if anything is unclear or you have any questions. Nothing was rearranged, but a few pictures were changed

I still need to do generic banners for the styles - generic banners for the supplies is up with a banner for every supply to the level above what I've done a personal banner for.

I added supplies and styles to the list of links on Rainbow Lists sidebar

I'm also going to be splitting accomplishments (and adding several) from palettes (and adding several)

The to-do list has been updated.

Supplies is updated! New format! New supplies! Some new pictures! Mobile friendly!

The new supplies are:
gift wrap
resin
wood
calendar
and palette knife (featuring Mom's and my palette knives)

I've started categorizing the colors, so if you go to the tags you'll see 'hue: blue' etc, as well as 'category: metallic'. I may add some other categories like neon and pastel

Some of the updated colors also have generic achievement banners and I'm working on updating the color logo (some of the ovals are football shaped and several of the colors you can see that it was altered from a red one, not to mention that most use Futura and the font should be Helvetica) (... I realize that I'm probably the one to whom that is incredibly blatant)

So far only one has all five banners (color list, retouch, paint-by-numbers, saturation, and tapestry) and that's Salmon

1. On that note, do you consider salmon a shade of pink, orange, or both?
2. to you does white include off-whites like beige or no?
3. does brown include tans and similar colors?

This is mostly for my reference, but please feel free to point out other things

Currently working on:
- Prototype achievement art
- add links as examples to the Custom Palette Color

In no particular order:
- give out completetion banners that are owed
- take photos for a few of the supplies since I can't find a picture I like (we're artists and crafters here so we have, like, all the supplies)
- do a proper mod introduction post (I'm bad at talking about myself, but in short, I'm 41, I'm a graphic designer, and I have way too many hobbies) Done
- update the out of date supplies Done
- close old completion post and make a new one
- tweak the Around the World accomplishment changed it to any six of the World ones, and tagged some more lists as world. It was the largest palette with 8 requirements.
- Maybe tweak some other accomplishments?
- on Rainbowmods update Dial-a-Mod - Done
- on Rainbowlounge make an updated Welcome sticky - Done
- fix the repeat on White Opal - added 'woolgathering'
- fix missing prompt on Outer Space - added 'comet'
- make a post somewhere to crowd-source prompts on DW, websites, tumblr, instagram - comment with them on supplies, noted on the RainbowLounge welcome post as well
- go through rainbowmods and make sure there isn't anything else - done
- give out novelty beads that are owed from previous challenges - done
- improve the rainbowlist color list colors (I'm a graphic designer and the imperfections bug me) - done!
- categorize colors so it's easier to know what color things are (I'll need some opinions on a few of the ambiguous colors) - done except for three that may need an additional hue tag
- link to discord https://discord.gg/dHddKKAN3h - linked on RainbowFic intro post and a few other places
- AO3 collection - created, need to link - linked on RainbowFic intro post
- revamp styles, supplies, palette & achievement pages to be mobile friendly - DONE
- add some more supplies/styles and accomplishments? - new everything added!
- check links on the lists that have links
- create promotion tumblr (probably a sideblog of mine) - linked on RainbowFic intro post
- make a Q&A -  added Q&As to the appropriate pages
- make generic achievement banners - generics for everything  are up
