I'm trying to get a CB member to join currently. I've asked if they're interested.

I had to cheat quartz as it was too close to slate, shades of grey I guess. The colour I used was Timberwolf.

Still, some effort to make all the colours easily distinguishable must be made. While we are at it, making all colours more visible on all backgrounds should be dealt with at the site, not through scripts like my Conquer Club Contrast Corrrector (C4). Basically, using both a white outline and a black outline means there is always an edge for the eye to see.

OMG YES!! I've been saying that forever (but you know this). Or at least my variation: Outline "light colors" with black and outline "dark colors" with white. It's really more to do with the visibility on top of the map, though, so I'm not sure if that's something that this team had to think about at all.

Can you not put both a dark and light border on each? If the outer one blends in, the inner one will stick out.
