No, changing the matrix leads to changing all the colors, there is no other way to do it
NO2O! The Definitive List of 1.7/2.2-Compatible HUD Colour/Color Configs (please add yours!)

- Start date
Any luck with good setup for anyone yet?
If you look you can find some that still show the correct colours - Mocha for instance is the one I use and it basically turns the neon orange into a sort of coffee colour.
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed>0.7, 0.08, -0.08</MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.15, -0.15, 1</MatrixBlue>
Thanks for your reply, I found a less orange version that I'll use for now
I have exactly the same problem. Did you already find a solution?
Kind of, I just used different colour schemes until I found one I liked and that didn't display all weird
Does anyone have a white with deep blue highlights or a deep blue with white highlights that doesn't butcher portraits and is Odyssey friendly?
My "Mocha" combination* is still working fine in Oddity - allowing for the general dimness in that of course - not moved anything, GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml file still the same and in the same place.
* EDIT: I forgot to say this combination was produced by someone else, I used "My" to mean it is the one I use.

How are the in station faces?
In the menus:
... on the concourse:
I have not "tuned" the gamma / brightness to my satisfaction in Oddity yet - new monitor, just getting the hang of it.
Mocha scheme:
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed>0.7, 0.08, -0.08</MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.15, -0.15, 1</MatrixBlue>

Excellent! Thanks!
Apologies if that has already been discussed but am I right in thinking that HUD colour modification is having wider negative implications in Odyssey than it was in Horizons. I'm noticing some pretty awful colouration of things like my own 2D avatar image in various places. I'm assuming that's down to my modified HUD colours and I was gonna switch to "Spiritual Teal" to see if that improved matters.
Thank you so much
Well, I wouldn't doubt it, Odyssey is pretty much breaking everything else...
Wow, it's been a while since I checked this thread and it's up to 20 pages now! Really appreciate everyone's input so far, and apologies to anyone who's posted a config in the last... er, few years, since I last updated the OP.
Speaking of which, as a few of you have mentioned, Odyssey has come and, well, it doesn't play too nicely with the colour transformations in a lot of places. So, it's probably a good idea to decide what to do going forward. A few thoughts:
So, what do you guys think? Personally I really want to see the HUD/general gamma sorted*** before taking any Odyssey screenshots. I'm looking forward to trying EDHM when the Odyssey version drops, but I appreciate not everyone wants to modify shaders, or use third party mods. And, of course, many CMDRs will be sticking to Horizons.
*** I posted this in the thread about rendering, but just for illustration sake, this is how badly the HUD appears now:
Default Gamma, 100% Brightness
Top: End of alpha
Middle: Odyssey release
Bottom: Odyssey Update 5

- We could update this thread to show how nicely the configs work with Odyssey, or start another thread
- Some of the updates from Odyssey will fold into Horizons at console launch (September?) so maybe it's best to wait until then before doing anything
- There's some (still officially unconfirmed, hello CMs if you're reading this, please!) strangeness going on with rendering/gamma that's causing the HUD brightness/contrast to look very washed out and dull***
- The EDHM (ED HUD Mod) now exists, though not yet compatible with Odyssey, which arguably solves all the goals and issues that this thread was aiming to work around

Thank you for maintaining this Thread Terry. I think you are right to wait to update it until the console do-over of the graphics system.Wow, it's been a while since I checked this thread and it's up to 20 pages now!

If the graphics system is pushed into Horizons, then - pretty please - a revisit of working color schemes would probably be the best route.
Again, thank you so much for making this hub available to us, it has mad an enrmous difference in my enjoyment of the game.
Didn't find one I honestly liked so I made my own.
Call it Crème de la crème.
Cockpit Photos (Pt. 1)
Pt.2 (Unfortunately, Starport Services is a bit muddy)
Other than that I'll be using this one. Cheers.
Edit: Jinkies, forgot to put the code here.
The first variant I made, not shown in the screenshots, bit brighter.
<MatrixRed> 0.75, 0.35, 0.2 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0.25, 0.15 </MatrixBlue>
Screenshot variant, a bit dimmer.
<MatrixRed> 0.6, 0.25, 0.15 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0.15, 0.05 </MatrixBlue>

I like this. I mostly use this hack just to reduce the bloom on the text, keeping the colours as close to the defaults as possible. This is the first one in a long time that's made me consider a more radical change.
