HUD color change option in 2.3?

Slight thread necro, but I'm amused watching this post being taken out-of-context on Facebook at present, as being a gospel statement from FDev. :O:O:O

That would be a lot better than the nothing-burger we got now. Especially on consoles where the dreadful orange HUD is the only option.
I still keep asking for it from time to time. Too bad they didn't do it before they tied NPC portraits to HUD colors. All I want is to be able to use a green hud and keep the other HUD elements the same color they are as default without everything getting all messed up. It's really not too much to ask.

Oopsie
Just goes to show.. should never believe everything you read on the internet. Especially if you use Facebook 
Unfortunately, while it seems like a simple request, I think the UI colors must be very difficult to change, given how often this has been requested. I don't know the code architecture, but if it were straight-forward, I'm sure FD would have implemented this by now. I hope that FD will fix this in their upcoming quality-of-life improvements.
I mean, HUD color is one thing.
But if they redesign the HUD (maybe for 3.0?), then I really wish we could chose different HUD layouts.
We have all these amazing cockpits, but the HUD of all ships and all manufacturers look the same?
I know there is a limit of how the HUD can be changed, but I would really dig some small design differences for different ship manufacturers.

I agree. It would be one update that every user would use. Look at the amount of money they make off of ship paint and decals.
If they had thought ahead about HUD color they could have made a few more $. I would have paid for it like all the other enhancements I've purchased.
But now, why spend the time and money to integrate it into the game. Why would FD spend the time (Money) when there are free tutorials on how to adjust the HUD colors?
I will tell you why...
This whole game is really based around your ships. Anytime you have to go to a 3rd party to enhance your experience takes away from your experience and interest in the game.
There are ALOT of people that do not have the time or knowledge to do these 3rd party upgrades / enhancements. Nor do they take the time to read the forums and voice their opinions.
I personally haven't changed my HUD colors.
I could if I read up on it, but I would rather play the game. If I had an in game option, I definitely would use it.
