			* It is advised not to use a table (for changing color) if all the content of the page is inside a single table. See [[PCs:Dannar_Sunrise]] for a good example of using a table to add color, while not putting everything inside the table.
			* Don't change the text color of the whole or most of the page. Some wiki styles don't display the text very well then, especially white text on a black table background.
			* Keep background colours light. Generally over 150 brightness, over 200 advised with colors already 'dark' looking.(Grey-Black, Blue, Red)
			* The above makes it difficult to make a PC page look 'evil', as dark backgrounds are the easiest way to achieve it. Try using well-placed images (See above), and easy to read text with evil deeds instead.

	If you're going to use thumbnail images, make sure you don't put them in a table with a coloured background, as Mediawiki will add a white frame around it, ruining the effect.

			* Don't overuse images. One portrait and one screenshot of the IG avatar maximum, unless used to illustrate text on a longer PCs page.

			* When using multiple images, align them left and right so that no two images are below each other. Start with right.

			* The only exception to the above is a PC portrait or a screenshot of the IG avatar, which can be aligned left as first image. However, aligning right is suggested here too.
