Does anyone have a hard time knowing if an item is rare or set based on how close they are on the color wheel? Same with rare vs unique for some. I’ve heard some say they struggle with either.
Ive heard the same thing.I think its either just the color on the monitor isnt good or you just need to turn up the brightness a little bit on the actual monitor settings cause I use a plain jane 1080p screen but its LED and the colors are very vivid.Rares show up as a bright yellow and uniques show up as a dark gold.easily distinguishable to me.If the color palette isnt as good on say an old LCD panel or something turning up the brightness should help
I have a hard time distinguishing rares from sets sometimes with LG 27GN750-B UltraGear Gaming Monitor. It’s not a bad monitor and I am not colorblind. It would be nice if we could set in the settings our own color of our choosing.
Rares are yellow and set is green. Those are normally not colors in conflict. However, if you have issues there are colorblind settings in the game menu. Even though you are not colorblind it may help you find a balance that works for you.
Go to the settings page and play with the Colorblind settings. It has a slider that lets you play with the strength of the settings and may give you the contrast you need.
The green and yellow are pretty close on the color wheel. I don’t have a hard time every time just sometimes they trick my eye. If a green is next to a yellow it’s easier to tell the difference but if it’s just a green or just a yellow sometimes I am like “Is that set or rare?”
Yeah I’ve got a buddy like that. Sounds like you have a bit of a colorblindness issue bud.
To people without that prob I can assure you they are about as distinguishable as cats and dogs.
The Uniques and rares are a bit too similar in my opinion, would be neat if the unique color had a bit of texture to make it more “golden” and distinguishable from the flat yellow of rares.
I have no issue with the current iteration of D2’s default setting.

This issue stems from one or both of two things in nearly every case. First, if the display uses a TN panel, it won’t have accurate colors regardless of what you do. That’s the downside of TN displays. The second, and harder issue to resolve for many people, is the HDMI/RGB setting. For computer displays, the default should always be 0-255, sometimes called “Full”. For many TVs in non-PC mode and for most TN panels, it’s 17-237, or “Limited”. If you use the incorrect setting what will happen is that the normally easily distinguishable gold vs. yellow become almost identical in D2 and D2R. It isn’t a game issue, it’s a display setting issue where an incorrect HDMI or RGB setting causes the value to either clip (dull) or oversaturate (both look pale yellowish-beige). Once the correct settings are dialed in uniques and rares are easily distinguished from each other.
I don’t actually. I did however, turn off HDR and things are better. I can tell the difference better without HDR
I can see HDR looking funky if your monitor isn’t great for it.
Most HDR setups are like 1080 tvs marketing wise for when they first came out. Sure it does 1080 but I not P or I upscaled.
True HDR requires huge colour gamut and high contrast/brightness monitor otherwise it has almost the opposite effect.
You being partially colour deficient was the other cause I was thinking
