Player marker colour - accessibility for colour blind

[EntitY]

In a previous update the player icon and player waypoints were changed from red to white - this was a great improvement for colour blind people. In todays update it appears to have reverted back to red. Nearly impossible for colour blind people to see. Hoping the dev's can change it back, or provide a colour blind option to choose the colours?

Actually,

I would love it to be a player defined color.
Also, White is good unless you are in a snow biome.

Personally, I'm glad it went back to read because white was so hard to see on the map, especially in the snow biome. It really should be changeable for player preference, and especially those that need to to be another color, as in your case.

I would also prefer they be player-defined, for all these reasons.

I personally have trouble seeing the white marker most most of the time:

- the compass itself is white
- white clouds or ice covered mountain tops obscure it as well
- white in the arctic or glacier is very hard to see (which is where most of the missions seem to go...)

So I'm also glad it's now red.

But the best solution would be to let people pick their own marker / player colors so everyone can pick the ones they can see easiest, as this is often an individual thing.

I've seen red, blue, green, beige, white, pink. I think the color of your icon is determined by the order that you join the prospect. Red I think is first, followed by blue, then white...at least in my observations.

As a fellow color blind impacted player I agree... user defined would be awesome... the red has me a jacked up...I play solo so it's alwasys first position :-(

Same. I can see why people don't like the white for snow regions, but for me, the red anywhere else is just awful trying to see.
