I personally saw some team colors that I didn't like the taste of. One of these was the yellow color. I then decided to give some rather different colors. I am planning on posting screenshots soon. But until then. Here is the file. Simply replace the teamcolor.odf file and you should be good to go.

@ To Devs:
If you like any of the colors. Feel free to put them in a future patch.

Edit: Made some colors have more distinct differences.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 is out. New scrnsht will be uploaded soon.

i'll reserve judgement  until (and will edit this post when) screenshots are posted.

the red and dark red appear very similar, as do the purple/jet blue/ocean blue so i'm voting to keep the current colours, they do the job.

Oh, by the way. All colors are tested. They look really good.

I think I prefer the current ones more, but I wouldn't be sad to see some new ones added . Dark Green and Light Green can be a tad irritating since they are relatively close to the same color.

It would be easy to replace the light green one with cyan. I use that for Romulans.

It's probably down to monitor settings and a person's own sensitivity to colors. (hint, windows 7 has a built in monitor tuning app) I find the stock colors more palatable than these, and I agree the two blues are too close together in hue

Its a good idea i really dont like yellow and orange but i just dont know how to replace them without having colors that are really close to being the same.

To me I easily see the difference in color. I guess my eyes are either better atuned to color or my monitor settings have better contrast.

Well i can see but if im not really paying attention to the map and just kinda glacing at it every once and a while sometimes i dont see it.

I have released version 1.2 It has got new colours and better contrasts. I had to replace the previous attachments because for some reason the server wouldn't let me implement them in as new ones even though it is about a tenth of the file size limit.

Opinions?

May I have some feedback on this new version please?

Well, when I play in a single player mode, It would freak me out, if the klingons are not RED, the rommies are not GREEN, the borg are not WHITE, the doms are not purple and the feds arte not yellow.

A green fed, a red dominion and so on would confuse me like hell.
