Army Color Suggestions

[PhilipJFry]

As some of you might know there is going to be a change to the army color table in the upcoming 3690 patch.
Some people have asked me about other new colors but since i'm too lazy to remember them i'll just make this thread so that people can post their suggestions here and maybe provide some input on why that color would be nice to have.

So far there have been suggestions for silver (c0c0c0) and another kind of orange (FF6347).

If you can mod your game and provide a screenshot with your suggestion that would also be nice.

Spoiler: show

no black unless you make the icons white

seems to me like the silver is fairly hard to distinguish from the white
the orange is not quite as bad but still somewhat close to the light orange we already have

The new orange looks pretty starkly different to me, and I really like how vibrant and saturated it looks! I could take or leave the silver, but as far as I'm aware there aren't any limits to the amount of colors so why not have it.


I would suggest something like this salmonish lavender color?

add turquoise?

I suggest:
- Throwing away all existing colours.
- Using my 16 colours here which were mathematically chosen to be as far away from each other as possible.
- Implement my team colours algorithm where colours are assigned to players based on what team they are on. Players on the same team will look similarish but not too similar.


I have C# code that does it all. Just needs to be in lua.

Doesn’t really seem necessary to make people play as similar colors on the same team. I think it just takes away choice from people for no reason. The only time colors have gotten people confused is when some random dude takes a color you always associate with someone. It isn’t like people walk into 50 enemy tanks and go “I thought they were allied tanks because we are different shades of blue!”

Also I don’t want to play with random pleb colors. White or riot.

Well people do get confused. Maybe not with 50 tanks, but how about 3, or one bomber, or a transporting scu?

[FtXCommando]

Idk, I haven’t heard of that happening outside of:
1) Someone being incredibly high
2) Someone not playing with the color they are always associated with

But it’s just ancedotal from my games.
