Dark Purple is the selected unit and lighter Purple is the units in the formation.

Large:



Huge:



Thoughts?

Tried some other schemes but Red and Yellow don't work so well, when their is now the possibility of those colors being used for counters with the new XML color scheme methods.

Red and orange work well. For me yellow can be too hard to find.

Yeah, no matter what I do I can't seem to find the right fragrance of colors.
