I'd recommend that you don't rely on only color for the post and following telltales. Use color plus something else.

For the not shared, shared, and yours icons, in addition to color you could:
Not shared: only the center circle, no surrounding dots.
Shared: center circle plus surrounding dots.
Yours: center circle, surrounding dots and a line circle around that.
Extra fancy if Yours icons only get dots (inside the line circle) if they're shared posts.
EDIT: Formatting.
- markkat 15y agoThanks sixtofour. I'll test how that looks. Do you think the colors confuse? Or are too close?
- sixtofour 15y agoHonestly I don't pay attention to specific colors. A designer (I'm not) could answer the "too close?" question better. A great book for choosing colors is Color Harmony Compendium. Although I don't pay attention to specific colors, I like having colors, they break up the tedium. I just think they're a poor choice for a sole differentiator. For example, I always like colors while programming in a text editor, but I never use color as an indicator for what I'm looking at; the code does that. :) Colors in a text editor just break up one thing from another a little earlier than my brain would anyway, but they never tell me what I'm looking at.
