Can someone help me with the colors of items and what that means about their rarity in the game at this point? I've seen what I think are blue, white, gray and purple items, but it's hard for me to tell exactly because I'm partly colorblind and see colors differently than other people. (or so my wife tells me when I try to dress myself)
Is there a list of the most recent information about colors and what that means about items? Thanks!
(I know this information is on the Wiki, but I could swear I see purple dropping and that's supposed to be Runestones according to the Wiki.)
I suppose it's possible what I'm seeing as purple is actually just blue, but it's screwed up for me because of the quality of the videos I'm watching. Blizzard makes all their games with the specific intent of screwing the colorblind by making critical colors ones we can't differentiate between.
They aren't going to make set items on the red/green spectrum again are they? The Wiki says that they will all be colored as legendary, so...here's hoping.
Legendary items (brown-orange) have the tag "Legendary" on them, so that should be easy enough to tell.
Rare (yellow) and legendary (and I would assume Set items too) also require you to identify them; magic items (blue) do not require identifying.
As someone mentioned already, purple item names seem to be reserved for quest specific items; cube, hearth, etc.
The color scheme seems to also hold true for mobs. Quest-related named monsters have purple names, random boss monsters have yellow names, etc.
I wonder if there will be a color-blind support option in the Graphics settings (or if there already is). I've been seeing that more and more in games.
People really don't understand how frustrating it is for a gamer to not see colors the same as everyone else and then we wind up in conversations like this where everyone's saying "man, what an idiot, there are no purple items drops, just the cube and stuff, learn to see color dude!"
So, basically, all the purple is in my imagination. At least I can see the difference between white and gray and stuff...
Clyph, I believe there was a blue (oh the irony) post stating that while a color-blind friendly mode won't make it for launch, that they plan to implement it at some point.
I'm about to leave work so I can't search for it right now, but that was the last I recall.
edit: found it! (lucky for you i had to wait for a co-worker to do something!)
As long as they don't make tiny red and green buttons, or require me to tell the difference between blue and purple in a mission critical way, I should be fine. Besides, I'm going to be picking up all items anyways right? No concern I'll leave a blue behind by accident.

Not sure what you are seeing as purple though?

apparently my initial response was not accurate, but I imagine they will implement it eventually.
