There's no way changing to a specific shade and color will help everybody and make even the majority happy. So here's what I propose:
1) An option in the control panel that lets us select the color dots and shade.
2) Change the font of the army numbers. It seems like the 8s specifically mush together and you can't tell whether it's a 0 or an 8.
3) Increase the font size by one point. It'll make the numbers easier to read.
