Army Color Suggestions

[nine2]

There was a glue cast recently where someone ctrlk d a com dropping player in transport - their team mate.

I get confused and often attack my team mates scouts.

obviously, the colours should be changing over time!

Spoiler: show

ontopic: not sure about silver, might be confused with either white or destroyed units of the white player

That one fell under the "extremely high" category.

I like the ani suggestion but i dont like taking the choice away

for confusion: allied colours setting exist

fixing both, my suggestion is to make ani's suggestion the allied colours

also +1 to any suggestion that is a less intense but still colorful suggestion

Yeah we can't change the allied colours like that dude to engine limitations. In that other thread we were talking about having a game lobby option where host could force team colours for everyone. Otherwise it would be same as usual.

Team colours is awesome in a 5v5

Or a 2 v 2 v 2 v 2

this is how something like this salmonish lavender color and turquoise would look like in game

i don't think i need to argue a lot here about why those 2 are not great additions

to be honest i like the idea of Anihile to get colors that are as far away as possible from each other but i don't think his implementation is good enough to justify getting rid of what we have at the moment (the 2 players at the center at the bottom look kinda similar to each other)

i uh dont like Anihilnines suggestion :<

the issue with it is its a very mathematical approach to well ... colours. people dont pick colours to be different from each other, they pick a colour they like. and all those colours have exactly the same saturation and brightness for example. not good. also doesnt help that eyeballs and monitors dont perceive equal differences in hex values equally.

what we know of attempts to remove colours before, its a terrible idea since you piss off 1/16th of the playerbase for getting their favourite colour removed. this would remove almost all the old colours, and i dont really like any of the new ones, and i wont get the same one each time presumably as well.

And you think that won't piss people off?
