I changed comments for colors names but they also must be changed in somewhere else to show in game properly.

This patch makes the game always use the team colours from palette.txt. Those are way too dark / unsaturated for map preview / radar though.

"extracted" 8 original colors from textures and changed others to be more saturated

Better, I think.

Green: Too blue and indistinctive.

Orange: Ok, though it could be a bit brighter and more red.

Red: Ok.

Blue: Ok.

Purple (originally pink): Good for purple, not so for pink.

Cyan: Looks rather turquoise, either rename or use as separate colour.

Yellow: Somewhat aggressive, not sure if it should be changed.

Violet (originally purple): Too blue and aggressive. Maybe use this for ultraviolet?

Looks like you changed the later colours as well, can't see them in-game though. Not sure about the renaming as well.

Of the colours themselves I like the red, blue, cyan, purple. Maybe the orange could be a bit brighter and red, the yellow a bit less aggressive. Leaves the ultraviolet and green.

All imo of course.

Played around a bit as well, proposal for the ten colours we currently use.

Three screenshots comparing the three versions. Top left to bottom right: purple (Mangust: violet), yellow, cyan, pink (Mangust: purple), blue, red, black, grey, orange, green. Hm, and I just notice that I didn't test the grey and used Mangust's, though I prefer the original one.

The savegame needs Noq's 10c-NTW10.wz map, then just do the "deity" cheat.

I still think that my violet and purple are more different then your pink and purple. I should change my aggressive yellow and violet to a more smooth tones, and fix the green tone.

I think I like MaNGusT's cyan better than yours but prefer your colours for the rest; though the yellow and pink may need to be a bit more muted.

Maybe b3,24,a8 for pink and c9,bd,22 for yellow.

Better orange, and slightly tweaked pink, purple and yellow.

And of course I prefer the teal.

Cyp changed priority from normal to blocker

Cyp commented

Don't know what the colours should be, but probably can't go worse than my randomly chosen/named colours (I think I actually chose the colour hex values without looking at the result).

Changing priority, since this is easy to fix (once deciding on the colours), and is unlikely to introduce bugs.

cybersphinx changed priority from blocker to trivial

cybersphinx changed milestone from unspecified to 3.0

cybersphinx commented

Update team colours to correspond to their names better.

Refs #2972, tc2.patch. No teal for now, since that would introduce new
strings.
