Does anyone have this background image from Wiki Fandom's background selection from back in the day?

I am trying to find the diamond plate background image used when choosing a theme for a wiki back in the day. However, I am experiencing a difficult time trying to find said background image.

If anyone finds the image, would you upload it to the BEAR Wiki's gallery as I'm pretty sure posting it in a community post would convert the file to a .webp file. Unlike in the actual wiki where you can access the original file, (I think) in the community wiki, you can't access the original file.

Alternatively, you could post the link to the image, although I would prefer the gallery upload.

Additionally, can someone also list the color hexes used for the theme that uses the background image as the second screenshot is compressed and is also a .webp file (on the website it is found on), so using the color picker tool wouldn't give the accurate colors.

Not the answer you're looking for but

"Unlike in the actual wiki where you can access the original file, (I think) in the community wiki, you can't access the original file"

You can access any original file, also from those posted in discussions, by adding this to the file's URL:

?format=original

For example for the last image in your post above:

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/7df5d0a7-eb73-4f9b-a07b-74691b52533a?format=original

I found a similar one in a very suspicious website and uploaded to ImgBB:

I used the image you sent me and found a multitude of variations of the same image. Although I couldn't find the exact same one that FANDOM used back in the day, I ended deciding to choose this one from a website called "wallspaper.com" and edited it to be similar to the version FANDOM used:

(You can ignore this part as its just explaining how I recreated FANDOM's version) I created a black layer on top of image, made the black layer have an opacity of 70, merged both layers, set "Black" to 6, set "White" to 8, set "Highlights" to 50, and lastly set "Saturation" to -50. Here the end result:

You can still get that background. you just need to go to your theme editor, and you have the option to edit the colors. now if you know the hexic codes for the colors then you'll be able to make your wiki look like that. have a great day and happy editing!!
