michael_martin Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I cant tell the difference between gold and bronze trophies on ps4 and ps3 consoles. They look virtually the same colour to me. I have to click into each one individually to see the word "gold" or "bronze". I haven't heard anyone else mention this so I'm guessing I'm colour blind. I'm getting a bit sick of it though and wish there was some way of making it clearer. Perhaps Sony could add a setting to help colour blind people. Any suggestions are welcome.

You can change the order by Grade which sorts it by the trophy type on here at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you sort by grade it puts all the hidden trophies at the bottom of the list which is useless because theyre usually a mix of gold silver and bronze. 10 minutes ago, Katt said: go see a ophthalmologist. no, seriously, you could have some disease and not know. explain to the specialist your problem by showing him the example you just described.

I'm referring to the ps3 and ps4 consoles, in the trophy lists. My tv is displaying colours fine as far as I can tell. Like I said, Ive probably some form of colour blindness.

If you want to sort by rarity, you won't be able to tell unfortunately, as there are bronze that are rarer than golds. 45 minutes ago, Katt said: go see a ophthalmologist. no, seriously, you could have some disease and not know. explain to the specialist your problem by showing him the example you just described.

If this doesn't seem to help you might just be a little colour blind. But i see your point, it would be nice to know what you got. In the end a trophy is a trophy, no matter which color it has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know that. But my point is that I want to be able to sort whatever way I like, and still be able to distinguish between gold and bronze colours. I want sony to provide a setting to help colour blind people. A setting that changes the properties of the gold and bronze trophies that makes them more distinguishable. 4 minutes ago, OJ9999vr said: What if you tried turning of lights in your room to reduce reflections on your TV.

I'm pretty sure I am a little colour blind. Sony could add a setting to help colour blind people, a setting which makes gold and bronze trophies more distinguishable.

With sony's track history though, it seems unlikely though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a setting on ps4 to invert all colours but that actually makes it even harder to tell the difference between gold and bronze! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeSplit Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I can tell the difference, but I do feel that they're too similar in color. Bronze trophies should be a little darker. While on the subject, I've always felt the same way about this site concerning the platinum shade for games in which we've earned the platinum trophy. Someone created a Stylish theme that makes it darker though, so at least there's that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolkovo Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you can see the difference between these two , then it probably is your TV/monitor that needs calibrating. Even for me on the PS3 sometimes a trophy that I know is gold almost looks bronze in the notification, but the difference is clear once I check on the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had this problem since 2009 and on a few different tvs. If I look closely at the two trophies right beside each other like that, I can tell which is gold (left one), but thats not how theyre displayed on the ps4 or ps3. Also if you show me just one trophy on its own, then I dont know if its gold or bronze. When I scroll through the trophies for a game, the silver ones stand out, but the rest could be all gold or all bronze, I just can tell most of the time. I could tell if I went up really close to the tv screen but that would be a bit inconvenient. 19 minutes ago, GameOverComesAll said: Bronze trophies should be a little darker.

The ps app is just as bad for me to tell the difference between gold and bronze trophies. The app is poor in several other ways too but thats a discussion for another time!

Yuukiyun Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thought I was the only one. I can't separate bronze and gold trophies on PS4 either, but I can see it on this site, although just barely. My color vision isn't too great anyway. I often see different colors than other people. 9 hours ago, Katt said: go see a ophthalmologist. no, seriously, you could have some disease and not know. explain to the specialist your problem by showing him the example you just described.

UlvenFenrir Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Actually i have had the same issue from time to time where i thought a bronze was a gold, although im not color blind. I think its just poor colors or whatever you call it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's tens of us out there. /s No seriously, over the years I've just learned to deal with it. Sometimes it's easier to tell than others. I'm much more concerned with colorblind filters with games than I am with trophies on the site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing a small game called Hue at the momemt which is all about colours. It has a colour blind setting, although I don't really have a problem telling the colours apart in that game.

Mewa007 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I've got maybe the best vision in the world and still don't really appreciate if its gold or bronze... Really sometimes, like yesterday i did the trophy from Shadow of the colossus to beat one of them without breaking his wristlet, and when i got it i thought it was a bronze, but when i looked to my trophies the percent grew up quickly because it was gold... But i told you, i never had and never have nowaday any problem on my vision, rather ive got an excellent one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I've always had the same problem. Often I have to check url or some name or something. I know for a fact I'm partially colorblind though, just can't see the difference between two colors all that well when when one is in excessive amounts around the other. I'll check if it's the same color as in gold and bronze. Edited February 25, 2018 by MMDE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be red green colorblind btw. I am partially that too. Just means you have a hard time telling the colors apart, not that you can't see the colors or whatever.

For me its brown/green, or brown/red, or blue/purple, or purple/pink and of course gold/bronze. It all depends on the shades. If the shades are similar then I find it hard to tell them apart. So if the bronze trophy was a darker shade then I wouldn't have a problem telling it apart from the gold trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
