Here's mine;
Sammi79 hud colours
I find it much easier on my eyes, much less garish and much less affinity to glitzy console games. It also retains the tri-colour differentiation.
Recommended HUD customised colours
The one I use is Mocha, detailed by user Cmdr Uncertain in this post:

It is a very useful, non-garish colour scheme where everything on the scanner is easily recognisable (not all schemes are) whilst easing my eye-strain that v1.4 introduced in text on the HUD. The screenshots in that link will give you an idea, I totally recommend it after trying out many others.

Change Colour Scheme in Graphics Screen?.
I was looking at changing the colour on my in game graphic screen but wasn't sure how to use the 3 x R-G-B boxes. Tried various settings but didn't like the outcome so just reset it to default. Is there a tutor/walkthrough on this?.

Thanks for the links Fensta.
And once again, I find that Frontier should allow to do so directly in the game
Here is a link to the one I use, called Mocha made by CMDR Uncertain (post no 269):

<nods> Aye!
Nice....I was using green and a dark blue and it was good but jarred with the standard cockpit colors you can't change....This fits more naturally...thanks for the link
I've been fiddling with this for the first time this evening, and came up with this teal-based colour set. Hard to leave enough red/green to make the sensors show enough contrast. Will keep fiddling.

HUD Colors
Okay okay, pretty much everyone already knows about Arkku, right? And even I use it. But there's one big, almost monsterous disadvantage to it that could be solved with a simple suggestion:
Frontier, please make our primary HUD color customizable in-game.
The problem I'm referring to, of course, is that when you modify RGB values in Arkku, it changes the RGB values for everything. And while it is possible to set it up to be the color you want while still being able to distinguish different markers on your sensors and such, it is extremely difficult, and may not be exactly what you're looking for.
Having a set of RGB sliders implimented by Frontier that modify EXCLUSIVELY the base HUD color (what is typically orange), and leaves everything else, inclusing your combat rank, their default color value would be a big, monumentous step forward from the current system. Not to mention get rid of a lot of headaches.
