This is going to come off as super autistic and pointless but it has bothered me since seriousTTT and I think it makes a difference even if it's tiny.
The colors for the donation ranks are for the most part ugly and off-putting, and with the goal of these ranks obviously being to garner support to keep the servers alive, I think it would be a good idea to change them. Now obviously on first glance this will appear entirely pedantic and subjective, but there is studies showing humans react positively/negatively to certain colors, for example blue being the most universally liked color, green coming in close second being associated with nature, and growth. We also see that warm colors, like Red, Orange and Yellow, be attention grabbing especially in marketing. Not only do colors matter, but hue, saturation, and brightness matter as well. Humans react better to bright, saturated colors as apposed to muted darker colors that we see with our current rank colors. So with that being said here is my pitch for new rank colors, I went for a "color scaling" approach where the colors are appealing at each level, but also scale up to a more visually appealing color as u go.

Hex: #1E90FF
Proven to be universally liked and a friendly color.
VIP
Hex: #32CD32
You will notice this is very similar to the VIP+ the reasoning for this is that it is a slight elevation from blue, and makes more sense.
VIP+
Hex: #8A2BE2
An upgrade from green, purple is a more presitigious color. This purple being slightly more dark and eye catching than the previous VIP color.
Elite
Hex: #FFA500
Orange is seen as an attention grabbing as well as unique puts you above the mid-tier.
Legendary
Hex: #FFD700
Yellow/Gold throughout time has always been the highest prestige of color, representing wealth and royalty, also pops out and is very noticeable.
Interested in hearing other peoples opinions.
