The Unit's Best Color
I have had several opinions of a completely inane subject -- your team's color and how it best compliments your units. I mean is it just me or does PINK not seem to suit an artillery piece?
My vote for "best match of color to unit" goes to grey, which is usually Indian, matching to the BATTLESHIP. Really this color goes with any modern ship, but it especially menacing on the Drednought!!!

 I guess I see what you mean Shogun Gunner, ... but to what purpose? Quite franky, I don't see a point to assigning units their "best" color, so in turn, I guess I don't see the point of this thread...

Black looks good with a lot of the units. Especially the Impi.

Mm. Blue or dark blue suits French better, and that's what I choose when playing them. But, I agree that units should look like what they are in real world, and not some funny colored pieces moving around. Many people have suggested before using national flags with units, somehow like with cities, but i don't know how well this would work.

Arabia often comes up pink as well. Draw your own conclusions.

Are you changing your color in the editor? If not, please enlighten me as to where.

The editor is the only way to change a civ's color.

I'll go for modern armor with Carthage brown (at lest Carthage is sometimes brown). Brown could actually be part of a tank's chamo scheme.
