I like this idea especially for team games where everything sort of blobs together and it's hard to distinguish your own units terrible damage from everything else.

the zerg vs zerg looks incredible, very bw esque colors. the protoss ones arnt as good, but overall i think this is a good idea. what do these look like on low settings?

i like them bright and "childish", should just add a slider then with contrast so everyone just picks what he likes best

This is a pretty awesome idea and implemented VERY well! It gives an almost "cartoony" feel to some units I think, but I'm okay with that. I hope Blizzard can at least put something along these lines into the game. Maybe they wont go this drastic with it, but something to make the color more visible would be awesome.

Silly side note, but is anyone else reminded a little bit of Donkey Kong 64 when they see the units/videos? Especially with the zerglings, for some reason I keep picturing levels where you'd see all the different colored bananas. Maybe I'm just delirious today.

I've been hoping for so long that blizzard would do this. The overly bright colors are what make a game feel like an esport -- I'm reminded of ut2k4 TAM and the cs example already posted. Realism is for casuals.

THIS LOOKS REALLY REALLY COOL. No seriously this looks really good. I would LOVE this in team games cause I get really confused as I only play team games when I'm half asleep at 3:00 in the morning. Also... those colllosus look BADASS

I think the colors are fine as they are. Perhaps this could be an option in the menu ( [ x ] Stronger Team Color) but there is already an option to change team colors into red/green that makes it pretty apparent who is who.

I love this idea! It really is hard to distinguish which person a unit belongs to. Also, the minimap often confuses me with, say, a red zerg on creep, or a dark blue player mining minerals.

Distinguishing units from different teams in mirror match-ups IS difficult while watching non-1080 quality streams, but I don't feel that making all units/structures neon colors is the right solution.

Really love it, if this was a setting you could toggle I would always have it on

U would need to change Banelings attack animation if you change the color, a graan splash from a pink ball sounds.... fucked up

But I do like most of the colors really, really much. Makes the units look more diverse anyways, as all colors now get sort of boring; they all look the same!!! ARGH!!

I like your work. I hope Blizzard picks up on this and insert it into the game

i have been proposing this from the very start, great idea!!!
Sometimes the colours are too hard to distinguish between each other, so this effort you did there is very welcomed by me

i hope blizzard improves upon this

I seem to be a minority, but I think it looks awful :/

It would make my day to see a ball of marines die from pink goop.

Hhahahahaha

!
But either the baneling skin had to be greenish or the attack animation needs a change, because pink liquid turning into green sounds pretty weird

I'm a little bit colorblind, and PvP is sooo annoying trying to tell whose stuff is whose, especially when I'm playing. I hope Blizzard gives us a stronger color option. Honestly, I don't mind as much watching the game, its playing the game that kills me.

YES! The pink observer looks like an angel or something :O

Blizzard needs to do this and then implement different colors on the ladder so I can pwn noobs all day long as a pink protoss
