[quote=@Fabricant451] Yes, but you can do that while also adding a bit of spice with a harmless color. In fact I'd hazard a guess that many people that use colors are also making clear distinctions on who is speaking. Colors don't detract from an RP in any way unless, again, it's someone using dark colors on a dark background and making people have to highlight it. One can say they don't add anything either but if people like doing it then why not let them. 'Aesthetics' is a stupid reason but it's one people use anyway. RPs don't tend to have vomits of color unless someone is just doing a post of all dialog in which case colors are the least of my concerns there. It's not like people are coloring text because reading is difficult, it's just a stylistic choice. And if all someone is doing in an RP is reading the colored bits then they're doing it wrong anyway. [/quote] Yeah, it's just something I'm not a fan of myself for aesthetic and literary reasons, but I completely understand some do it because they like it. Perhaps another thing that I'd say bothers me about it is that it is very dependent on what type of roleplay. I'd find it very misplaced in an RP with a very serious undertone, and which is trying very hard to read like a book, with advanced writers or writers who are trying to make it look 'professional.' Meanwhile, it'd look better in an RP about lets say some happy go lucky moe anime or something. IDK, just my two cents.
