Streamlining Adding Color to Names at Character Generation

[Limaximus Lamb]

A good way to make color generation more accessible to players at character generation could be added by implementing a button beside the name preview, or in the name input screen, beside the enter to accept and escape to cancel buttons. This button/key could pull up a list of all possible colors and patterns in the game, alongside a preview of how the current name would look with each pattern (similar to gnarf’s colorname wish).
Either one of these options could be implemented to streamline the naming experience for older players, and to open up the possibility to newer players that don’t know the functionality.
I attached a mockup of what a button next to the name preview might look like, using a recolored box of crayons sprite. but the option inside the name input screen is likely more feasible, easier to implement, and would take less time to switch between names.
