infobox color[edit]

I added #AD80BB to the infobox color. I'm restoring some color as I don't see why it'd have to be gray. I've noticed colors used on character infoboxes (such as a red on MCU characters like Tony Stark, or yellow on SpongeBob). I initially used the pink featured in Glimmer's hair based off this image, which gave me #FFA99D. Using a color picker, there's different hex codes in her hair, but they're all about the same color. That #FFA99D was color compliant with the black text over it, completely, based on the snook.ca color contrast tool that MOS:COLOR recommends. I changed it to the #AD80BB purple found in her clothing, which is still compliant with the AA level. Don't know if it'd be better to change it to the pink/coral-ish color of her hair, but I think some color would be better than gray. Soulbust (talk) 07:48, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Converted from a redirect by Soulbust (talk). Self-nominated at 08:10, 17 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Glimmer (She-Ra); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Converted from a redirect within seven days of this nomination. Hooks are interesting enough, succinct, and referenced—ALT2 would probably be my pick for phrasing, but all are fine. Once QPQ is done, this will be good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC) [reply]

@Rhain: Thank you for the review/comments. QPQ is now done. Soulbust (talk) 08:40, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! (First time I've seen a circular QPQ before.) This is good to go. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 12:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
