How to use color in games

There is actually its own discipline when it comes to colors and how to use them. A character bright colors is easier to see and focus on a darker ground than on ground with the same brightness. When you look at Dota or Leagues environment you will notice quickly that its darker then you abilities or your char. Thats why.
