Now look at the color of the 4th Panzer Group (the dark pink in the center), in my opinion this is one of the most beautiful unit colors of the game... I think all the colors are beautiful, but this is one of the best.

Ester is our lady tester, she got the job of picking the color of the drapes (shes Italian)...lol...Plus shes one hell of a player...I will add theres a hotkey to turn off the colors, not sure why you would, as keeping your armys and corps organised is so importaint in the game...

Thank you for precision, her color tastes was begining to raise questions in my mind.
Rather than an option to turn off color, what about an option to choose the color of the unit (might already be the case) otherwise I might disband the 4th panzer by reflex.

Pink panzers! That reminds me of the first AH Battle of the Bulge game that had pink German counters IIRC.

I really pressed to get pink out, which it was, its lavander now. What were really looking for is to have contrast between armys as they can move with the years, and be able to to see the units clearly on level 4. At first I didn't like the pastel colors, however if it allows me to see the battlefield and make decisions quicker, I'm fine with it...I make decisions on level 4, and move/attack on level 2.

I like the collor pallet presently, as noted above it offers the contrast thats neaded to do its job, make managing units and formations withen armys easer.

Maybe It`s just me but I`m finding the pink in these pics a bit blurry.

Heh. I will remind everyone that Pink was the chosen Waffenfarbe for the Panzer arm in the Wehrmacht.

How are the colours chosen? I mean, they are necessary for organizing your units, but some may like them and some may not. In Advanced Tactics you can easily change the colours by clicking on a HQ unit, a popup menu appears and from there you can define the colour you want. You can even add more colours than the predefined ones.
Personally I like the colours you have chosen right now.

When I chose this color I didn't think about Waffenfarben. This was for me the color every girl likes, very used in women's fashion, and so I couldn't resist the temptation...

This nice shade of pink will remain at its place, I won't change it anymore [;)] If you think in 41 campaign it should go together with purple (18th army) and "orchid" (16th army), you'll find it even more beautiful [:)]

I'm glad you like the colors I chose [:)], because unfortunately in WitE there's not freedom to choose colors [;)]

It's the "Baltic rail zone". Rail conversion (rail lines are the black lines) within this zone is a little faster than in other places.

The red lines are in the process of change to yellow. I am our own main critic, hate and love to say it. Ask Ester she will tell you...As far as colors, I press the issue to see the unit types at level 4, and have contrast between armys/fronts. I'm 51 now and my eyes arn't what they used to be...Believe me this game becomes intense, the colors after you get used to them won't matter much...
