In my opinion, the bar for the "coins" template looks a bit harsh and doesn't match. Maybe go with a steely grey, maybe a copper tone or a golden rod tone, or even a deep navy tone.

In my opinion, go with colors that either 1.) Match the theme (i.e. jungle = shady green yellow, copper = burnt orange brown, or even just generalized themes like armor = forest green, weapons = violet, items = grey purpleish-blue, etc.) that goes with the item, armor, weapon, monster, etc or 2.) a color that matches one of the colors on the item, armor, weapon, monster, etc

Whatever works, I really don't know what else to say because I really don't know how this works? I like the Items color, it's very simple and its pretty and pleasant to the eye.

Avoid the fluorescent colors, even though they may look cool from time to time, the eye registers it as bright and harsh, and it clashes. Duller, dimmed down, calmer colors are preferred. Other than that... do as you will.
