Ok, I know its been brought up a lot, but today when I played Europe for the first time I could NOT tell red and green apart. This pretty much screwed me over, as I made a bunch of tactical errors thinking I had contiguous countries.
The main issue I find is the blue(3rd player) and Pink(6th player) are basically the same for me, if I don't have 2 next to each other to compare, then I can't tell them apart. When I'm one of these colors it's not as bad because I use the fortify list to verify, but with other players it becomes a real pain when someone gets a bonus I didn't know they had.
Now I know this isn't a priority, but I've had to adjust, I avoid 6 player games, makes my life a hell during the first round before I get accustomed to the sides etc.
I'm not sure if someone can think of something, but what I'd like to see done with the colors is as follows.
1. Change pink to something with more contrast, black comes to mind.
2. Change neutral color to another shade, I have the same issue with the 5th player and neutral colors.
3. On Europe, makethe names plainer, rather than the fancy effects.
OR
I'm not sure what Greasemonkey can do, but it seems like all this can be fixed by adjusting RBG values, maybe Tr0y can help on this.
It feels like the colors have moved from an annoyance to a disadvantage, especially freestyle when time taken for moves can make or break a run.
