Great thread, great initiative.
I found my way here from Obsidian Ants latest video. (

Normally I use the default orange, not by choice, but because I like to see reds as red, white as white and greens as green on the radar.
I want to be able to the difference between enemies and allies.
When I don the HMD, I go green:
.
<MatrixRed> 0.18, 0, -1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen>-1, 1, -1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.15, 0.32, 1 </MatrixBlue>
.
When playing on the monitor, I would prefer to use blue HUD, to match the LEDs on my desk and sometimes the interior of Empire Ships,
but I lose the neccesary colours, so I really don't bother with it.
On a YouTube stream a while back, David Braben mentioned that there are no plans from Frontier to change HUD colours,
as there is a way the community is already modding the HUD and that is good enough.
I really hope that changes, so we can change our HUDs from within the game, without messing around in the config files and retain the
important colours in their default state.
Good on you OP for kicking off this initiative, I hope the Forum gets behind this and brings the importance of it to the developers attention.
