Team Colors

This is a simple thing that nonetheless works to make the game very ugly for players -

why is the default player color such an ugly, nauseating shade of light blue?
It looks awful, makes the units look washed out and on the lighter units like penetrators/banshees is not very visible.
The light-blue player color is 100% my least favorite thing about ZK, and I dont know why I have waited a year to point this out. its awful!

I would like to propose the default player color become a nice deep royal blue, and the horrible light blue be swapped out for an ally color.

We are sure that it can be changed in some lua files

oh sweet! Thanks Eddie!

I'd recommend a leafy green for the player and other greens for allies as an alternative setting to maintain the good vs evil color scheme while being easy on the eyes

cons: most maps have grass.

yeah, devs please change it :)

to clarify -

I understand how to change it on my game.

I propose it be changed in the next version to use a less ugly color, on the basis this will improve the game for all players. I do not see any factors in favor over the ugly light blue over an attractive deep royal blue to counterpoint the current default deep red of first opponent.

It is visible, I agree.

However, it is also very ugly.

Would you consider tweaking in the direction of a compromise between visual appeal and visiblity?

I like the cyan playercolor, personally.

green is actually an awful recommendation of mine purely on the basis of colorblind people

You know, this has never been explained to me. I bring this up every single time a discussion about team colors comes up, but no one will respond.

Why is it that Springie has the ability to set teamcolors in lobby, but yet each player uses a widget to set teamcolors in game.

Pros of having Springie do it:
-One less piece of Lua that slows loading speed of game and increases widget bloat
-Each player sees every ally/enemy as the same color, allowing people to use their teammates colors instead of learning their name

Cons of having Springie do it:
?

Am I missing something here?
