Too many similar color options in the last patch. I dislike it. It was better before. Nice bright, primary colors are best. Red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange, cyan, pink, white, brown, light green, dark grey. There, that's 12 colors, for the largest of games. I don't like black, makes it hard to see on dark maps and hard to see detail of the icon (black on black is not so easy to see).

Give too many color options, and player will invariably choose confusing and highly similar combinations.

But i have to agree some colours are realy similar.

I knew someone would say this... I just picked 5 blind colour friendly colours for GW, not thinking much about ranked colours being red and blue (I just made sure they were not red and green). The order is the factions order : blue for UEF, grey for Aeon (instead of Green for the daltonians), red for Cybran, Yellow Sera and Orange Nomads.

I guess next version can switch order between grey and red so that red is the other ranked colour.

As for the two colours looking similar, one can be removed (I removed others that were too similar). On my screen, they don't look alike, but I guess it depends. Meawhile, players using these colours should try to make sure they are in the same team.

The similar shades are a good thing if the same team are using them so no need to change them or make them different, it actually helps when they are used correctly. I'm surprised people don't take the colours more seriously, Dark vs Bright vs Dull and similar colours etc makes the minimap and battles so much easier to read.

Being unable to distinguish between your teammate's units isn't a good thing. If you play on a light/bright map all pale colours look the same.

To think all this came from a request as simple as adding ONE extra shade of red... (which didn't end up being added at all)

what have i done...

The new colours are just tons of very similar shades eg loads of white/grey/cream/beige 4 different types of blue and green etc. Nightmare for casters, particularly on a dark or light level.
