The black is plainly annoying and unfair.

You can add me to the "Want Black" category.

its not a question of what you prefer, but what the majority of players want.

It can be the diffrence of a won or a lost match at times. It's annoying and very unfair to the other player because he has to waste precious time mousing over everything to see wether that's a tank or an arty icon... Very annoying and unfair. If the colors I proposed DO get added, they will not include the black color.

Its a rather miniscule advantage, dont you think?
I have always found the grey player to be extra stealthy, because it takes more concentration to
differentiate between unscouted radar blips and scouted radar blips. No big deal.
Now a black ACU when he happens to be among other units is a big deal?
keep it in the balance testing mod and wait for reactions.
i have never heard of any complains about the black color in the gpgnet days.

Specifically, I've never been more annoyed than when looking to snipe a acu when its black. Could be looking right at the thing in a pile of engies beside a air factory, and still not see it.

=Unfair advantage

This.

Finally someone agrees with me on this, the black color will be removed immediately.

you find one person that doesnt like black and that is enough to remove it for all?
what happened to not selecting a color if you dont like it?

Comparing the original red vs FAF red.

As far as the second red color goes (the original FA red color), it's at the bottom of the list for a reason. It will never be automatically assigned to people because the game assigns colors to people in order from top color to bottom color. So unless you have 14 players, the second red color will never be automatically used. It's just there if the person that gets the FAF red color doesn't like the FAF color, he can pick the original FA color. Also, they might seem similar in the menu, but in the actual game they're pretty easily distinguishable. Just try it out.

May the dark-red be re-implemented in the game?
It was my colour in FA and i'm really missing it. It can be a bit darker than it used to be in FA, so people can see the difference better.

Would be quite thankful. Though, i can live with the other colours too, but not as colourful!

can you put the light green (or the dark green) to the bottom of the list as well?
because these two are hard to distinguish as well...

then even 6vs6 games should not be a problem (unless somebody chooses the second shade of red,blue,or green on purose).
