Wish for improved color contrast for "Check-out Today" vs. "Check-in Today
Hi Mews team!
We would like to request a minor adjustment to the color coding on our reservation timeline to improve our daily workflow and reduce manual errors.
The Issue:
Currently, both "Check-out Today" and "Check-in Today" use a very similar shade of blue. When the booking department and reception team is assisting guests with stay extensions or late check-out requests, it is difficult to distinguish between a guest who is due to depart today and the guest who is to arrive when looking at the same room to checkin and out of. This occasionally leads to mistakes when selecting reservations directly from the timeline.
The Request:
We would like to make the distinction between these two statuses more visible by adjusting the brightness and/or darkness of the blue shades - similar to how we currently distinguish between "In-house" and "Checked out" statuses of dark.
Current Color Logic (for reference):
- Green: Online Check-in
- Orange: Check-in Missed
- Purple: House Use
- Dark Gray: In-house
- Light Gray: Future / Checked Out
- Same blue: Check-out Today & Check-in Today
Goal:
The current color scheme works well, so we don't want to change the colors entirely. We simply need the two blue nuances to be distinct enough that a staff member can tell them apart at a glance on the timeline more easily.
Could you please let us know if it’s possible to tweak these hex codes to create a clearer visual hierarchy?
Best regards,
Louise Milling & Michelle Jensen from Bühlmann Hotels
