Player colours suggestion

This isn't urgent, just a little thought.
I'm new to this game and find that I have a hard time distinguishing the neutral grey territories from territories that are teal (I'm partially colourblind). I'm playing my first game now and it took me 10 minutes to realise that Nth Africa (thinking it was my Teal and thus my territory) was grey and not in fact Teal (for some reason I thought the drop down list was broken :S).
It's not a major problem, I just need to look carefully at the map and the drop down list, and I'm also almost certain no one here is colourblind, but if there's an update to the game in the future then maybe replace the colour Teal with another colour, like Black or something.
Cheers

if you go to the plug-ins bit in general discussion formula there is a greasmonkey script you can download which will clear it all up for you.

I have also thought the same about the color of the neutral player, I mean getting the two colors confused hasn't ruined my life or anything but when it happens especially in a close game it can be tough to overcome.
I pretty much agree with everything Ocho said.
Also, before anyone posts an angry reply with a list of the fifty updates that should come first, don't bother. I think me and Ocho both understand that there are other issues that are more important. However, it is worth mentioning. Good looking out Ocho.

Alex is right. One of the plug-ins allow another way to distinguish the colors, which make color-blind people's lifes much easier.
I think it's greasemonkey, but I am not sure...

Thanks for directing me to the greasemonkey thing, but cbf getting firefox. I tried it once and it didn't take my fancy. Like I said, once I know which territories are mine at the start I no longer have any real problem, as I can usually remember if something's mine or not, and if I can't then I'll just squint real close to the screen

.
And besides, its not like every game I'll be teal.

I'm not colour blind, but I still have difficulty distinguishing between pink and red on certain maps

I don't like FF either - However the scripts are that good that I use FF just for this site...
