Quote text color[edit]

I'm aware it took one hour for the user to change the color of the quote to match how it looks in game, however compared to how it looks in-game it's actually pretty difficult to read. I don't mean to be disrespectful but I don't think we should be going for this sort of thing and just have the quote be normal so that it's easily readable.

Maybe there could be a hover with the same text but normal? Technetium (talk) 16:08, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
I would say, keep the text black, but just show a screenshot showing this is how colored pencils talk. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:13, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
I think the idea is fine; probably the reason the text is more readable in-game than here is that (a) the colors currently used by the article are approximations of the colors shown in-game, and (b) the text box whereupon the lines are overlaid in the game is a light shade of gray instead of pure white. I support keeping the letters colored, but like, more accurately to the source material. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 16:19, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
Edited the quote using colors extracted from a screenshot using the eyedropper tool. Note that it was a screenshot from a YouTube gameplay video, so who knows how truly accurate these colors are still, but it should be more palatably executed nonetheless, I think. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 16:37, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
I was the one who arranged these text colors! I worked so hard to make this! Maybe you should reconsider reverting the text colors to all black because, mind you, I have spent my time dissecting and analysing the individual text characters in the Origami King videos thoroughly. I have been making sure that the letters and punctuation where corresponding to their original colors. I’m just urging that my hard work should not be taken in vain! If you want I can make the text character’s colors clearer to read by dimming it a bit! -User:Jude da Dude
I already made the text more readable using the colors that are used in the game. Your work was not in vain, the color formatting tags are still in place and I, myself, agree the quote should remain multicolored, because this gag is integral to the character. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 17:31, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
It does look better now at least. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 17:47, September 2, 2024 (EDT)
