New Zac Chroma's and my Colour Blindness

TheHobbits·6/12/2015, 6:15:49 AM·12 votes·5,003 views

I have a particularly annoying type of colour blindness that tends to mix colours together and makes it hard for me to tell two colours apart when they are side by side. The new Zac chroma pack that is coming out has "Orange" and "Honey" (as well as pink), but I find it very hard to see the difference between the orange and honey.

I feel a little saddened that it couldn't have been a red or darker colour. Pool party is blue, original is green, pink is cool, orange and honey I'm sure are good too, but I feel a little left out. They are, in my eyes, the same mixed colour. The one labeled Honey does have some white discolouration, but aside from that I cant tell the difference.

I do hope they bring out a red and some other darker colours. Curse my colour blindness!

Edit: Sticking with the Sweet theme, Zac could have Raspberry as people have suggested. Just an idea Riot.

Overall I understand why they went for yellow and orange(because caramel and honey),but I agree that both together are a bit too similar.

Also I was really sad when I saw that the black Zac chroma was just a placeholder and that yellow was the real one....

I really really feels like this has to be changed. Way too similar.

i feel if riot just hadnt made one of them it would be fine but since they made both there are people that tend to like either one and removing one might cause an uproar from either side :/. though this could be incorrect its just what i think would happen

I really hope eventually Riot will sell individual chromas,bundles just feel really awkward when you only want one of them.

Yeah, they're both quite similar, and it's stupid to put such similar colors together.

You don't have to be color blind to see that these 2 skins are just 2 different shades of yellow, That is just lame really.

yeah its like in Pokemon the shiny colour variation are supposed to stand out but some are just slightly different shades of the original, but here it's worse because Zac's 1 solid colour. RIOT WE WANT THE RASPBERRY WE WANT THE RASPBERRY!!!

I've commented on another post very similar - My colorblindness effects my yellows. Anything yellow / gold / bronze I have a REALLY hard time telling the difference in if I even can at all. the original picture of these that were released, I can't tell a difference at all. I assumed by names that one is slightly "darker" but considering I don't really know what "dark yellow" even looks like.. I have no freaking clue. They both look about the color of "yellow" post - it notes to me.

the colors are way to similar, i think riot should really change one of the yellows to a difference color

Yeah, I think that Orange and Homey were too samey-looking too. I wish they would've come out with a red chroma. Raspberry Zac!

#Honey Zac or TANG zac?

Which one should be changed to something else?

Added these 2 to the mix.

You can tell the difference between them, it's just the fact that they are VERY similar. imo red Zac would be much better or maybe even brown idk :/

Yea I feel once in game most people won't know which color your Zac is and overall will just call both yellow/orange

noone cares

Don't feel to left out. The skins are basically the same thing with a slight brightness and texture difference. I think the raspberry idea would've been better than the current ones.

It's not just you being colour blind, even to those of us with regular vision they look way too similar. It was a super lame (typical) move by Riot.
