Hi michael I certainly like the style but being a little red/green colourblind the green looks very muted compared to the blue and orange. (Or maybe that's supposed to be red?)

hundredfold thanks for the feed-back. Yeah, actually I think you are right there.

Originally there was intended to be no colour, just grey tones for the collection. But when the pause controls are used over a game layout - for example displayed over a semi transparent black layer - I thought it would help to have subtle colours for the arrows of the Continue and Restart buttons (since both controls are similar in overall shape).

I'm thinking the orange arrow of the Restart control should be toned down a bit rather than making the Continue arrow brighter. Any thoughts....

The blue indicator used for some of the progress bars was just to demonstrate that you can use any colour for the bars.

Edit: Demo content removed, adding new screenshots soon.

I was just looking at the screen shots.

Sure, I know subtlety is nice but that can sometimes hinder the game experience for players. You can do some automatic contrast check online for all kinds of visual condition. For most people it's not a problem which way you go, but it's just a matter of how inclusive you want to make your game.

I really liked the blue because it stands out so well and makes a strong contrast with the carbon grey. I also see the edges of the blue shape more clearly whereas the orange and green go kinda fuzzy around the edge for me.

All the best with it.
