How to change Power Armour HUD Colour?
Hey Fallout guys and girls,

I have a quick question:
Is there any way to change the default yellow HUD colour while inside the power armour?
Because you can change your pip-boy and your general HUD colour, but not the one inside the power armour.

Or am I just unable to find it?

Thanks for helping me out, I really dislike the yellow default setting.
With best regards and enjoy playing!

Hiya guys, I found some useful HUD tweaks that changed the color of the power armor HUD. It annoyingly didn't change the Pipboy interface color that comes up while in the power armor though. Keep watch on the mod because the modder might find the .ini tweak to change that as well. I hope this helps!

Anyways, here is the link...

I found these useful too...

Thanks for this! Now we only need a way to change the actual pipboy color. Don't know what Bethesda was thinking forcing yellow HUD/Pipboy on us.

I had already found "Different Colours for Power Armour hud" and have been using it ever since, but thank you for posting that.

Why would this not be in by default? You could not possible pick a worse color than the disgusting new vegas hud.

Tried the mod, and it changes the pipboy color too, not just the HUD!

Had to set the color value to 0.8 instead of 1, because it was just too bright

You could always change the pip boy from the default bright green, at the bottom of the list under game settings -> display. By default you could change HUD and pipboy(which also affects pipboy ambient light color). You just couldn't change power armor UI colors without the mod apparantly

Just for clarification, that mod WILL allow you to change the color of the pip-boy display in power armor? I dont care about the gauges, but the actual yellow/orange display of the pip boy.

Yes it will change the power armor pip-boy color.

No, it won't; the Power Armour Pipboy screen is still amber coloured. Further, it won't change the colour of the settlement management panels. Please don't feed people misinformation.

Everything is green on my end. HUD, Pipboy, Settlement management, everything. Haven't seen an amber menu in the last 120-130 hours.

Perhaps you should make sure to install the mod correctly before accusing me of misinformation...
