Outline color on ingame text

Post by lazygecko »

I'm talking mainly about the countdown text in the upper left corner for stuff like GPS and atom bombs. The text is the same color as the player, but since players can pick any RGB value this sometimes makes the text very hard to read when juxtaposed against the backdrop (dark colors are especially suspectible when overlaid with the fog or war or the temperate grass). It can get particularly bad when watching casts on YouTube since the video compression also makes the text muddy if the text and background colors are similar.

The text already has an outline but it seems to be a darker shade of the player color. Wouldn't a better choice be white, or at least a lighter shade to make it more readable?
