HUD colours

Could someone please share theirs, or point me in the right direction of the original HUD colour matrix setup as it currently stands for this version?
I've tried several different ones and my HUD is permanently in this whitish/yellowish colour scheme.

Thanks. :)

Edit: Fixed wording.

How did you alter it in the first place? Just deleting the entries from the overide file should be enough, I'd have thought (but take a backup first!)

Hopefully one day............

I altered it using EDFX, didn't like the settings/effects of the latest version so wanted to try ReShade 3.0. I set all EDFX back to default, including the HUD but it's not giving. :p

I just want to make sure that what I have in the settings is correct. I've deleted the file already and did a repair but the HUD colour remains, so trying to figure out what's causing it.

Edit: GreyAreaUK is right of course: simply deleting the lines from the override file should also work.

Damn, that's the matrix I have the moment but the scheme is still a weird white/yellow.

I've deleted the file and tried a repair, will try delete just the lines and see what happens.

Update:
Deleting the file had no impact on the HUD colour.
Removing the Matrix section had no impact on the HUD colour. (removing the section didn't even force ED to put it back in).

What my file looks like:
Code: 
	<GUIColour>
		<Default>
			<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
			<MatrixRed> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixRed>
			<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
			<MatrixBlue> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixBlue>
		</Default>
		<RedToBlueTest>
			<LocalisationName>RedToBlueTest</LocalisationName>
			<MatrixRed>		0, 0, 1 </MatrixRed>
			<MatrixGreen>	0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
			<MatrixBlue>	1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>
		</RedToBlueTest>
		<DesaturateTest>
			<LocalisationName>DesaturateTest</LocalisationName>
			<MatrixRed>		0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixRed>
			<MatrixGreen>	0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixGreen>
			<MatrixBlue>	0.33, 0.33, 0.33 </MatrixBlue>
		</DesaturateTest>
	</GUIColour>

Can you give the full path and filename of the file you're editing? I've a nasty feeling you're altering the main file and not the Override one.

Check out the No 2 Orange initiative for battle-tested combinations:

The thing that always kept me from using them, though, was the fact the orange briefly shines up before the custom colors kick in. I used the override file mechanism described here (bottom left) ofc.

Possibly, things get better if you modify the main config file instead, think I'll try that again now :)

Ah, is this Steam by any chance?

I think that's the wrong file to be altering, but I can't offhand remember the path/filename of the correct one.

Anyone?

Nope, the "Other Games" root directory is for my non-game platform games. Eg: G:\Steam Games, G:\Origin Games, G:\GOG Games, G:\UPlay Games, G:\Other Games :d
I can't find any override folder or file in my ED install directory.

It's somewhere under the \users\{your name}\AppData\something\something folder as I recall.

Edit: try:

<drive>:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml

Although, again, take a backup first :)

Some default different schemes, indexing different colours so they don't go weird, at the very least to allow people who are colour blind to pick a scheme that doesn't blur colours of different problems together would be a welcome UI change. Would also lead to somewhat less fiddling with the RBG values of red, blue and green.

E.g. a dark blue, light blue, orange (current), yellow, deep green, light green (aka greenscreen terminals) probably covers most people's desire for difference.
