If this is truly the case Mr. Braben might want to look at a Calendar. It's 2018.
More colors exist "Beyond" 8-bit orange. I'm not convinced.
Better Green HUD
I didn't like any of the green HUDs made by others here so I made my own which has red markers for enemies, blue for friendlies and green for neutral.
It also doesn't mess up the NPC portraits.
<MatrixRed>0.1, 0, -2</MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen>-1.5, 1, 1.75</MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue>2, 0.35, 0.3</MatrixBlue>

This is a bit of a late reply, I don't use the forum much. I am not one to take credit for someone elses work, and appreciate the time and effort you must have put into creating the HUD configurator. However, I think this may be a huge coincidence, whilst I have used your configurator previously, this is one of the HUDs I found whilst experimenting with the XML file and using your configurator as a base. The tool itself does not load up the HUD in question and is only visible on the forum post you linked, which is archived. The only time I found your tool was through links posted on reddit or through YouTube.
I only wanted to share something I too created and never intended to take credit from anyone or for anyone elses work.
With that said, I agree you should be the one named on the forum post since you have the configurator tool you created showcasing that very same HUD.

Maybe old dog shouldn't make new game... if he can't handle it.
Time to mix things up a bit with these new HUD, FSS, and DSS modes in the game. Think I'll "go green."
Cheers.
...
Ended up reverting back. Got too used to it, I guess.

They should separate the different menus to have each its own colour code. Also separating the portraits from the colours. I like to use a blue HUD sometimes, but would like to keep the station menu orange.
The SRV turret colour is also not affected, should be its own colour code, too.

New home screen is OK I guess ... although, from looking at this and a few other screens such as options, etc, it looks like having altered HUD colours is now seriously messing with the colours of these other screens ... shame, I may have to revert to a default colour scheme.
I copied and pasted your config into an XML validator (https://codebeautify.org/xmlvalidator) and it reported an error on the last line.
Sure enough, it looks like you've accidentally added a '?' character to the end of the last line. It should be:
XML:

I really hope FDev improve the UI colour matrix in the 2020 update.
