Colors for Near/Far

If you look at painting, its not quite so much color as brightness and texture which is often used to portray distance.

sharp, bright colors and lines for things up close. blurred or smeared colors and textures for things further and further away, with darker shades.

blues and deep violets are good for distance however. think of the mountains and the effect the atmosphere has on their appearance when they are far away.

Consider perhaps Yellow-Orange-Red or White-Yellow-Red if you're using colors.

But please do keep in mind colorblind players. There are a larger than average number of board gamers who are colorblind compared to other activities.

Color is great, but have some sort of iconography to go with it. If you were to use Red-Green alone for example you would completely alienate the most common form of color-blindness (red/green).

Without further context nobody could say.

What would make sense for your game? What's the theme? What's the range represented by? What other icons and/or art do you have? What is the range being listed on (cards? tokens? a player mat? something else?)?

Too many questions.

For iconography, if not numbers then you can use these:

- Full human shape for Far range
- From head to torso for Mid range
- From head to neck or shoulder for Close range
