Hi guys,

I am struggling to decide which one of these colors i should choose for hp bar and mana bar.

Below image shows party frame (far left), player/focus (mid) and target/ targettarget (far right).

Any other advises are also welcome.. thank you.

Question aside. Why would you pick sth that is a personal preference of me over a personal preference of you? It is your UI. If you cannot decide just do a color randomizer or whatever.

But since you asked. Blue for a healthbar? Are you serious?

yah I know it's a personal choice but I like them all. I just wanna know what you guys think. Perhaps, there's an obvious advantage of one color over the others>

If warlocks still have lifetap I wouldn't argue

Personally I would go class colored or grey, but my whole UI is gray so....

I must have no imagination or something....

Use a color that has some logical significance. Class coloring works well for either health or power bars. Power type colors are an obvious choice for power bars. Green/yellow/red based on health levels are popular for health bars, either at fixed thresholds or along a gradient.

Personally I'd suggest coloring only one bar or the other, and use a single solid color for the other bar, to avoid color overload, but it's really up to you. Use something that you can read at a glance without having to think about it. Presumably you've used some other unit frames in the past -- did you like the color scheme they used? If so, just use that.
