[QUOTE="Marius Delphus, post: 4382363, member: 447"] 1) I happen to have posted this in another thread: Text font: Monotype Mentor Table font: Monotype Mentor Sans [URL]http://www.fonts.com/FindFonts/detail.htm?pid=420263[/URL] (Yes, the price is for real.) Minor heading font: DNDLolthSC based on Scriptorium Ravenna [URL]http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/scriptorium/ravenna/[/URL] Major heading font: DNDVecnaSC based on "Textura" (Haven't located this; Scott Rouse said the fonts are Mentor, Ravenna, and Textura) However, I recommend picking your own fonts. Making an exact copy of what WOTC's already done is less impressive than doing something of your own and making it conform to more general guidelines of usability and attractiveness. (Personally, it doesn't impress me one bit, but I readily admit to being a corner case in the matter.) 2) Well, black would be black of course. In the image posted, the RGB values for the red are 132, 32, 45. The brownish color is a gradient ramp from 191, 190, 170 (on the left) to white (on the right). But again, why not pick your own colors? As long as you're in the same general neighborhood as WOTC (for the header bars -- that is, as long as you have easy-to-identify "red," "green," and "black") you should be fine; you can do something different with the gradient ramps (make it solid? make it a tint of the header bar color? make a subtle pattern of some kind? go with divider lines instead?) that might help make it "your own" design rather than "yet another copy of WOTC's" design. In short, I recommend you show us what *you* can do; we already know what WOTC did. [/QUOTE]
