Build a Diablo or World of Warcraft style rarity scheme. Edit each tier's colour, preview it on sample loot, check it reads for colourblind readers, and copy the hex, CSS variables, JSON, or Tailwind. It starts on the palette WriteIDE itself uses.
Rarity colours have to read on a dark reading app and on a light printed page. Switch the ground to see which tiers hold up on each.
The item name carries the tier colour, the way Diablo and World of Warcraft mark loot. The tier word sits beside it so the rarity is still clear without the colour.
A ratio below 3:1 means the colour is hard to read against this ground. That is fine for a swatch, but do not rely on it as the only mark of rarity.
Under deuteranopia, Common and Mythic may be hard to tell apart.
Under deuteranopia, Rare and Epic may be hard to tell apart.
Under protanopia, Rare and Epic may be hard to tell apart.
Under tritanopia, Legendary and Mythic may be hard to tell apart.

}Downloads a labelled rarity card you can post to Reddit, Discord, or X. The tier names are baked in as real text, so it stays readable and colourblind-safe.
Most Western RPGs, from Diablo to World of Warcraft, mark loot with the same six-step colour ladder. These are the exact hex values, and the ones WriteIDE ships with. Load them above to edit or export them.
| Tier | Hex | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| Common | #9CA3AF | |
| Uncommon | #22C55E | |
| Rare | #3B82F6 | |
| Epic | #A855F7 | |
| Legendary | #F97316 | |
| Mythic | #EC4899 |
Roughly one in twelve men and one in two hundred women see colour differently, so a tier told only by its colour is invisible to a real slice of your readers. Green and orange, or blue and purple, can collapse into one shade under red-green colour blindness. The checks above show exactly where that happens in your scheme.
The fix is to always pair the colour with a word. Print the tier name next to the item, or add a short marker like a rank letter, so the rarity survives when the colour does not. That is why the preview here always shows the tier name in text, and it is how WriteIDE renders rarity in stat blocks and the World Bible export.
This tool handles one at a time. WriteIDE is the desktop studio that tracks LitRPG stats, items, skills, and quests across a whole novel, and keeps them correct at every scene.
