I had hoped the twinges of orange would go with the NATO color.
Edit: now if they were swapped again, along with the orange this time (because I think it looks better with that paler shade of green).
I think this is what's hitting me subconsciously (yes I know it wasn't the flag until 1947)...
Of course on that note, you need to also swap Canada and Australia.

paulderynck, Don't think we want to change Canada and Australia. they are pretty close to the board game colors considering our restrictions. Centuur gave an ok for colorblind players.

Using the flag colors of India is a good idea. I have a few color combos you can look at. See which one catches your fancy.

Bottom right would get my vote. The orange was the interior RSA colour, looks nice as well but could be confusing. The top middle looks good, though.

[paulderynck]

I like the bottom left the best except the "IND" looks blurry. If the "IND" can't be black then bottom middle is best IMO. For Canada and Australia I meant only to interchange the blue and red.

[Ichirou989]

I prefer the top middle as well as the abbreviation has more contrast. Second choice would be bottom right.

[YellowNo5]

I like top left. This one might take a while [;)]

The big restriction here is whatever color is picked to outline the NATO symbol is also the color for the abbreviation.

Getting the impression from the comments a Green background is acceptable by everyone. The only question that remains is the outline.

I'll create some black and orange and yellow for viewing later. See if we can narrow it down again. [:)]

Canada and Australia is doable, the colors are the way they are because the counter sheets use them. But i see your pov based on flag color like India.
back later

[paulderynck]

Looking at my KiF units, Canada has red lines and a yellow background for the NATO symbol. Australia has red lines and a white background.

So I'm suggesting red background and blue background respectively.

Only the two on the left side of the six are good enough for me. But beware, other colorblinds may say otherwise, since the use of these colors is dangerous, since they might cause colorblind not to see the type of unit (INF, GAR, MOT, etc. etc. Change the unit type within the counters to black, and things are a lot better. (the cross for the INF in black should do the trick).

I have to chuckle at the voting. Almost every one of the six got at least one vote.[:D]

Legibility lies in the contrast between adjacent colors. The light orange and the khaki don't have very much contrast to my eye (the good one). Notice that the black has a high contrast with the khaki, so the numbers and letters in black show up clearly. So, I recommend choosing a dark color for the NATO outline and a light color for the NATO interior.

I prefer, in order: top center, top left (a very close 2nd), top right, bottom right. The bottom left and center do not work for me at all, with the IND virtually disappearing against the khaki.

can we just go with something and finish this off, and then get a new version of the pack? pleaaaase!!!

I want to feature it in my AAR!

[paulderynck]

OK everyone gets 4 votes and Warhunter can do a weighted choice selection. [;)]

Looking again, I now hereby renounce my first two choices and go with top left first, then top center, top right, bottom right.

[Centuur]

I go for top left first.

[warspite1]

As I said, top left - but I would not use my other three votes as I do not like the others enough, even as 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices.

[AxelNL]

ok - top centre,

I suggest Warhunter comes up with something in the middel of top left and top centre.

With all the talk above, Green for the abbreviation it is. Its a darker green to show up better. Added 1 with black outline for comparison. And the previous screenshot also. the orange is in mid range not to light or dark. the Pink one is in case it is all fubar. [:D]
deleted Pink choice added a better one.

It has been fun working with you all

I'm confused - what have you gone with? The previous top left was easily the winner.

[AxelNL]

I see. The 6 on the right are the previous ones.
So we have the 3 on the left which are the new versions, with an orange colour which is the middle of the previous top left and centre. I like that choice for orange.

The three new ones on the left are outlined in black, dark green and the light green of the old top left. For us to comment on.

I think the black is too dull for a CW nation. But that luckely that was only for comparison to the new dark green next to it. That is indeed much nicer for the eyes. The lower one has the same light green as the old top left.

My opinion is that the light green is a bit too light, and the dark green could be a tad lighter.

Conclusion: I think the orange colour is now OK. The green could have a bit more work. Although I would not mind the dark green chosen already.

If the choice is between the three on the left - then its the bottom one pour moi.
