scrub color schemes

[MiguelCairo]

What color schemes do you all you use for different roles/departments?

Also, s there any mod that adds more scrub color choices? the original 9 are great but playing for so long would be nice to have some different ones.

The colors I use are to make it easy to tell who is who at a glance.

Here are my 'standard' uniform and department colors:

All doctors in white all the time.

All nurses in pink.

All janitors in black.

Emergency - Red.

Radiology - Purple.

Labs - Green.

General Surgery - Blue.

Cardio - Rose.

ICU - Orange.

Neurology - Light Blue.

Pathology - Black.

The remaining departments share color schemes.

Cool! I take a different approach.

All clinic doctors in White

All technologists in White

All janitors default orange color.



Oncall Dr.'s and Nurses:

Emergency - Teal

ICU - Black

General Surgery - Blue

Ortho - Red

Internal - Green

Cardio - Pink

Neuro - Lavender

Infectious Diseases - White

Traumatology - Black

Techs are in grey

Janitors in black

Clinic staff are in white

On call Rooms:
Emergency - light red
ICU - orange
Gen S - dark blue
Int. Med - dark green
Ortho - dark pink
Cardiac - light pink
Neuro - light blue
Infect - light green
Trauma - yellow

Nurses
Emergency - orange/salmon
ICU - dark orange/brown
Gen S - light blue
Int. Med - light green
Ortho - light pink
Cardiac - dark pink
Neuro - dark blue
Infect - mid green
Trauma - light yellow

Doctors stay on one floor. I was mostly interested in identify nurses and techs as they roam the hospital

I recently decided to give each department a color, so all doctors, nurses, techs and janitors in traumatology department wear red, for example. Everyone in emergency wear pink, blue for surgery, orange for labs, green for radiology and white for CTI.

I did that at first to study where my doctors and nurses of each department are going to at a glance. Do my emergency doctors need to go too far to satisfy their needs? What department is using this break room the most? (I found out my surgery doctors were using a lot a break room on another floor because the one closest to their department was too small). What department are these cleaners coming from? From what department is this nurse tending to a collapsed patient? I can zoom out and see at a glance if there's a surgery nurse coming to pick up a patient in TC because she'll be probably the only one in blue and so it's faster to notice if it's taking too long or not instead of just observing the patient and waiting with him for the nurse. Which department is responsible for the transfer of patients?

I had a lot of questions answered this way and I just let it be. It's more useful to me than seeing who is a doctor or a nurse. =)

Do you use a mod that adds colors? I thought the game UI limited it to 9 colors max

Hi, the latest patch raised the number of colours to 18 ;-).

[EndlessSauron]

can we also get more colors for walls, floors, ambulances and equipment?

TY so much... Now I'll go back go giving a golly gosh darn now that I have a color for every department.

I forgot my original color scheme, but my Doctors and Nurses in ICU all wore red since red is a color associated with urgency and the Doctors and Nurses assigned to Orthopedics wore white so as to symbolize the color of bones.

WOW! This makes my OCD so happy!!!!

Since I started playing again, I realized that giving more than one employee type in the same department the same color scrubs was causing too much confusion, I decided that the only people that really need to stand out are my Nurses due to their interdepartmental work they do as gurney jockeys.
