You can change your own color to teal in every game.

Is it me or the color scheme resets every restart of the game? I mean, I want the allies with red, neutral yellow, but everytime I restart the game that changes..

yes when you restart it will restart but if you're still in game and queue up for more games the setting is remembered. it doesnt take much, you'll notice it immediately every time you restart. unless you're restarting after every game it shouldnt be that big of an issue.

I'd love to play Orange Terran all the time.

Make it happen Blizzard!

There's no reason why they can't allow you to set "allied colours" so when you use that option instead of Teal it uses your colour.

i doubt they will add it, especially if for 99% of enemies ur always Red and they are always teal as most people i know make that every game to see enemie easier on map.

So to implement it just for you to see it, maybe they will but then u would have to ask that in bnet forum aint here

It would be cool for them to add this option, even though it's not really necessary. It's basically picking our own colors.

I personally wouldn't use it because it's easiest to see enemy as red on the minimap (ugh brown), and I don't mind what color I am too much. Green is my favorite color though ^_^

most old schoolers would say "if it ain't broke don't fix it", but i have to agree it would be cool to set your own allied and enemy colors. it'd look great in 2v2 3v3 4v4 too!

Btw i think shift-tab once changes minimap colors, shift-tab a second time is what changes building colors if im not mistaken. Or did the first one also change your opponents building colors to red as well? Bah i forget, i always do it twice without thinking.

Some people don't like teal.

Adding the option to change colours is not going to make any negative affect on the game if it's client side (as is teal/red now). It's a pure QOL change that would only make things better.

honestly this should've been in the game ages ago and i have no idea why they haven't implemented it yet.
Probably the only RTS I know where colors are present but you can't pick a color.

Not a big deal, but would be nice to have it. I'm surprised this question never came up at blizzard when planning on what features to add to remastered.
I don't believe you.

first shift tab = mini map colors for allies and enemies (yellow and red, respectively), but in game all the colors are normal.
second shift tab = all mini map colors from the first shift tab, also player color to teal, enemy color to red, allies to yellow (in game)
third shift tab = return to normal
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

I would like color pick option yes
you can keep the shift+tab thing in ofc! I dont use it personally, would like to be able to pick color^^
black and orange unlockable based on wins somewhere? -_- such as 1000 and 2000 ranked wins with any race or smtg^^ or maybe you can only use it with that race if you have 1000 wins with that race or smtg idk lol, even in non ranked play you can use it ;D lol I think it would be neat

how does it work on a 3v3 screen though, you can only pick the colors not already picked? that should work, I think thats how it is in warcraft 3 isn't it? well in warcraft 3 you cannot pick color on matchmaking iirc, but in custom games yes
on 1v1 matchmaking, you'd need to be able to pick a secondary, or randomize if both have same color @_@ just can pick a secondary, easy
a little harder with 2v2 matchmaking, unless for example a pregame lobby was shown, or just randomize if cant work the primary+secondary of all players or whatever @_@

Even if it was brought up, it must be really low on their totem pole of priorities

Yeah, they did. Even though this probably is a simple feature to add, they just have more necessary things to add/fix. Server issues, establishing global turn rate, and ladder point bugs have to be among the things that take precedence.

Since they said that they will reset the ladder and add a new map pool when they are finished with the major bugs (essentially making a new season), I think seeing this come to fruition will be a good indicator of when we can expect them to possibly make these QOL changes.
