I mean, I've seen some crazy color schemes, and I thought maybe that's all I needed to do to change this one thing. But yes I have use this image since I made it just for this question. But I also see below someone posted a helpful image of all the nodes grouped in the categories they appear in, I think. I just took a quick glance before responding to you, but it looks helpful. | |

Just a question (respectfully), wouldn't it help to just print out a copy the image above you made in photoshop to keep as a reference? I only suggest this because to get the effect you're looking for in blender, it would likely require you to re-write a UI module in C++, with possibly some Python needed for integration - It would probably be a lot easier to keep a "cheat sheet" nearby. | |

I struggle with learning disabilities that make something as simple as that sounds difficult for me. That's why visual learning works more for me, and if I can visually see the categories as the color that the nodes are within them could make what you are suggesting actually work for me. I'm not saying that won't work, but everyone isn't the same and have hidden struggles, so I was hoping that if that was possible to do then it could help. I mean no hate towards you, I just wanted to let you know my reasons for this question :) | |

I just found the yellow multiply node I was looking for, and I think it was called mixRGB. Not only that, but I just hate that I have to go through all three till I find the one I'm looking for to match a node tree from someone else. I don't know if there are other nodes that are similar but in different colors too. | |

Doable, but probably noth worthy. Blender UI is also trying to be less distracting as possible. I also struggle to remember where nodes are, so I usually type in the search field to get them. | |
