Well, I see the main color of that scheme is still orange. I don't see the point of getting a worse default
but we each have our own tastes.

Yay! #46!
I'd pay to have HUD colors FD!
(on Xbox so , and 46 is now the number of times I've stated this ).

Actually it is more a coffee colour, hardly a "worse default" - the default neon orange gave me terrible eye-strain, particularly the text - it took ages to find a scheme that worked and kept sensor returns correct then when portraits came in they looked sensible. Here are some screenshots:
So you see it is a more "subdued" scheme than the vibrant neon orange of default.
Of course there are those who want a more sci-fi / x-files look and they are welcome to it, I just wanted a scheme that was readable and didn't hurt my eyes.

I like that .. never knew it existed !
Further proof to DEVs that we need to have HUD color options for the game.

I've applied this to my game. It works well on my laptop screen, especially at night. Very nice, thanks Malc [up]
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
Standing on the shoulders of giants (edgepixel and others) I further refined the light blue scheme and got shield colors that I am really proud of, while maintaining the friend / enemy distinction colors:

side panels and station services:

Code:
<MatrixRed> 0.35, 0, 0 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> -2, 1, 2 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0.5, 0.25 </MatrixBlue>
Mine looks like this:
Why would you code the game to only have one hud color? This would be so cool to have.
