am i the only one who doesn't like the purple color in a combatant? visually to me feels a little bit weird, I´d prefer to get a orange color or something similar, we could say that´s the color of a player who is in between been non combatant and corrupted, you are not a non combatant but not a corrupted either... to me would feel more confortable

And for that, we need any colorblind members of the community to tell us what they need.
Green > blue > purple > red
Orange or purple is the same "thing" as "color between non combatant and corrupted"
For the feeling, it is really personnal thing, i have no mater with the colors we have now.
edit : about colorblind.
it is not so easy in fact there are 3 main colorblind type... and easier to show matter with the LGBTflag :
People with no colorblindness !
Red color blindness
Green color blindness
Blue color blindness
(there is also people who dont see any color... )
So, really hard to find a color set that can easily be understood by both 3 kind, while staying intuitiv for the majority of people (green/red as basis. the most clear duo of color to be understood in videogames)
Seems like on one of the streams Steven said he was red/green color blind when the question came up in a Q&A.
Maybe ask in the next Q&A about to what extant being able to change these colors might be.
Purple
Red
for me
Btw, why is combatant on the way to red? Combat is combat. Murder is murder. Purple is fine.
Once I can see how the name plates look against the various backgrounds, it would be great to be able to change them as needed.
Rather than changing the colors that other players see.

I think there should be color-blind modes for different types of color blindness (like many games have). I don't think having the default color scheme be "color blind friendly" is even viable since it won't be right for every type of color blindness.
As for the purple/orange debate - I'm not a fan of orange for combatant because it implies you are "on your way" to becoming corrupt, or have some minor amount of corruption, which is not the case. A Combatant is it's own thing.
I would like to pick whatever colors I want. Idk what colors I do want at this moment but being able to change colors of health/mana/enemy name plates/whatever to whatever colors are available would be my preference.
Gimme all the UI customization options please.
It would mean we need UI customization templates which include race color combos, class color combos, social org color combos and religion color combos - just to start!!
Futher more, I would like enemies attacking or targeting me to blink between red and orange.
Vegetation is green and there might be red hiding in green, but it sure as hell aint white or blue or purple, so if it starts blinking, thats on me.
I think this is the direction they will go.
I usually change guildies and allies to some random off color so they stand out in the world/crowd.
tbh they should give you options in menu to pick a colour you want for every state so non combatant, comnatant and corrupted should be able to be swapped colours in option to different onces so player can choose the one they like the most for each part (Also allow for colourblind players to seklect what is easier for them to distinguish)
It'd be great to have a setting where you could choose your favourite.
That'd be funky, being able to pick your own colours.
