With a death magic necro that sumons many minions or a ranger that just puts up a few Spirits its too easy to just walk by a green item that dropped for you, even if you always look for them in the chat and ot the ground.
I also hardly can resist to pick up that Favorable Winds item over and over again.
brown orange pink grey better?
Green Items: New colour

Yah true, it clashes too much with the friendly names. Maybe brown or something would have been a better colour to choose.

green always makes me think poison... like a green bow, poison arrows! yeah, cough. lol.
Charcoal Ann
brown would be a bit silly.
RED is you man. it won't clash because when you want to pick it up all the enemies will be dead :P

Even then. Maybe gold, oh wait 
Catalin Dracul
i vote for bright pink

Should've made it dark blue, it would've made it more difficult to spam. Nobody wants to say "SELLING GOOD DARK BLUE ITEMZ CHEAP!!!!1111"
Definately should've been dark blue.

Orange would be the more uncommon and easy to recognise colour me thinks.
Tuoba Hturt Eht
Yes, I agree that orange would be more suitable.
Perhaps very bright orange?
Cheers.

Black or Red would have gone down better. Green gets confusing with the spirits. I sure would love to buy a Black Fellblade lol
Charrbane
Yeah I think Red or Orange would be better and collectors items should've been green.

While Green clashes with friendlies, Red clashes with enemies... Just leave green... it's fine...
bigfatguy
not orange because noobs would be like ''YES!!11I GOT A GOLD THING!!!!!!!1 oh wait.......''

I tend to know the names of my friendlies. The Yakslapper isn't one of them.

Meh, I haven't even had a green item drop for me yet, but I always notice the ones that drop for my groupmates!
Elena
in my experience there's ussually enough people in youre group who notice youre drop and go like hey "player name" got a green item !!1 one
Asplode
Yeah, I've almost walked right past a green item dropped for me, until someone said congrats...to me....about the green item...that's right under my feet.....yeah..... >.>

red ftw 
EndobioticChaos
Bright Purple.
LifeInfusion
I say they should make it red or pink. If use use the alt key, it doesn't highlight enemies.
IlikeGW
rofl @ change it to brown items. no thanks, that's just not as cool.
ElderAtronach
I find it best to ignore Shinsei's attitude. He seems to live on a steady diet of cynicism and bottled rage.

green makes me think of a set item
gold for unique
yellow for rare

As for the colors: Any color that has a strong resemblance to an already existing color for items/foes/friends is bad.
Yesterday a team-member explicitely said: Pick up your staff.
I didn't see it, maybe because I usually get crap-droppings in Grenth's.
The Furnace is somewhat nicer.
coleslawdressin
red or pink
OR BETTER YET LET US CUSTOMIZE DISPLAY COLORS << ANET READ
I'm pretty sure colorblind people cant see red OR green very well and the green burns my eyes
What Shinsei said in the first place wasn't even mean at all.. I just thought it was funny... but someone was just asking for it.. man I want to be uber enough to get into iQ one day.. one of many reasons being they can get away with flaming some of the f

Magenta would be a good colour, not enough like red to be confused with enemies, and not like anything else either.
I think green was just used because it's what's expected, with green items in Diablo 2 and WoW, it was the easiest colour to choose.

they shouldn't do a orange like colour because that looks way to much like the gold ones
never seen a green item, only pics, so i cant really say anything about that but what i've seen in pics looks pretty clear
how can you miss that
and btw don't you people ever watch at what the enemies drop

Maybe they can put in a huge 3D-arrow that points at the item that's for you. If you pick it up the arrow moves to the next item, and it would only appear on your screen.Or a big MontyPython-like hand coming out of the coulds knocking you down and then pointing at the item.

or this fire alarm goes of ??

Fuchsia.
Also, the green colour has helped me secure quite a few drops that weren't originally supposed to become my possession. You know how it goes: you fake an "afk", stand near the item and clickspam it till it's eventually yours. Three times and counting, I kid you not.
Do I feel ashamed about this?
Hell no.
I'd never do this to a friend or guildy, but if you're just some random dude, not paying attention to what's happening around you, you don't deserve the drop. Such is the hard nature of PUGs.
