Teal & Purple Hud makes the game so beautiful!

Today I stumbled upon this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/2p3784/you_can_manually_customize_the_gui_colors/

So I picked the prettiest color in my opinion, and:

Has anyone else changed HUD color?
 
WOW

That looks good.

I think Teal and a Green for mine, will have to look at it.

The teal is easy to see and read.

I think it's the same, no color change noticeable.

The reason why I am sticking with the Default HUD is none of the other option didn't make the Galaxy map look odd when using the colour filters for faction, economy et cetera
 
If you are running ED in an Oculus Rift or using your phone as a VR display, this color combo is nice. I'm running a variant where instead of the magenta, it's more of an orange. Kind of reversed colors from the original HUD:

<MatrixRed> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 0.4, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>
 
Looks like the basis for a later hud options section in the main menu. Definitely worth fiddling with, even at this point.
 
Nice work..
I'm finding the orange impossible to see names of newly identified Yellow stars, especially when I'm nose deep fuel scooping them.
Cheers for that.
 
How does this work when shooting something flying towards the sun? I think you need a dark colour to show up against the bright yellow sun but my effort didn't really work. The targeting crosshairs is one of the lighter areas so to make it dark enough the text on the side panels is too dark...

Will try the teal though as it looks pretty :)
 
In 1.1 i think I read that hud colour changes don't affect the galaxy map anymore so it won't matter soon :)
 
Funny, I had these colors through just messing with the slider and I have a bad habit of not writing things down so these colors got lost a couple patches ago. I do have a nice blue and fluorescent green now though :)
