[FEATURE REQUEST] new colors

It's in the title - sometimes I get confused by two similar colors sharing a border, like brown and beige, and have to tap them to find their names. I think it would be easier if there was a mode where the colors are very distinct from one another!

Dark blue and purple can be confusing as well.
I've yet to see all available colors because I haven't been in a game with more than 6 players so far.

I agree. I'm in a game with Brown, Beige & Olive all next to each other and it's not great. I hate being Beige :(

It would be nice if there was an option to choose your colour at the begining.

I think new colors should be available in a DlC type of deal.

I'm pretty sure colours are based on who gets there first. Red is whoever makes the game, and as people join they are given colours in the order they joined. As i don't have access to the game currently, i can't tell you the specific colours. Hope it helped though

In a current game, I'm red but wasn't the host. Brown was. I think it's just randomized.

In addition to extra colors, maybe in app purchases could be used to make the icons for outputs look subtly different. For colorblind people especially that would be very useful, and I think I would be willing to pay a buck to make my outposts stand out just a little in some way.

For factories subtle changes to the length of the pipe or the width of the factory would work. Not too sure about the generators, maybe different thickness of circles.

I never thought about this until I just joined two games, in each game I am Yellow and in each game I'm surrounded by the same colors, purple, dark blue, light blue, and olive. And in one game I send a chat message "well maybe you shouldn't have attacked my outpost first." And the other guy was like "what, I didn't?" And turns out it was the other light blue in the other game I'm playing that had attacked my outpost in that game that I was thinking of which now got me on bad terms with the other light blue in my second game. Very confusing! I agree different colors and randomized colors (not assigning a color based on join order) would be a great addition.

Agreed.

Why not the obvious? Black/White?
Would help alot if the green was tinted away from the Olive it is now, and to a more Forest shade of true green.
