Can we get the "no smoking" sign over colors we don't own (when selecting the "OWNED" toggle) instead of darkening it? I ask because I have a ton of darker colors that are a pain in the butt to find as they blend too well with the colors I don't have as they are darkened.

That is all.

The new color select screen is pretty terrible all around. Yeah it's nice to be able to see more colors at once, but they seem to be arranged randomly. And, as the OP points out, selecting "owned" doesn't really help because the "blacked out" colors aren't exactly blacked out (they show up as black, dark grey, grey, light grey, etc) which makes them look like colors that can be selected.

Colors on that screen should either be grouped by actual tone and hue (you know, like an actual color picker), or by group (read: all of the camo blues should be together rather than on opposite sides of the chooser).

As usual, PGI has created a fancy new UI that is actually worse than the old one.

We will be removing un-owned colors from the Owned filter. All Owned colors will then be grouped together.

Hopefully soon.

Speaking of random color placement...please make it go away. Give me something that makes sense so that I find the color that I like more quickly.

Another simple thing PGI flat out misses. Why are things like this so difficult for them to have in place? Are they hoping someone inadvertently buys a color? I kinda wouldn't put that past them.

Shows how badly PGI needs an actual UI designer.

As a person with a red/green color vision deficiency (as statistically speaking a good number of men are), the new thing is almost unusuable.

They should just not display colors you don't own when you have the OWNED filter on.

I thought the new color select screen was a joke when I first saw it... Literally. How many months did they spend working on that!? Did anyone even test it, or look at it, before it was implemented!? I seriously can't believe we even have a game sometimes.

It totally blows me away that someone signed off on it. At no point in the entire process did anyone think to themselves, "Hmmm... if we grey out colours the player doesn't own... will that not make things confusing for people who own or are shopping for grey colours?"

Not like it is set in stone, give it a little time. While I agree it needs work, they have shown decent follow-up with UI items. Remove non-owned colors, actually sort them by color and I think it should be usable.

I think Russ said in twitter this is getting fixed this next patch.

I also hated it, but it hasnt even been out one full patch cycle. Bad design, but let them fix it this patch and then if not fixed we can get the pitchforks.

So I'm not the only one that was left sitting there scratching my head wondering how the hell I tell where the shades of black I own all were. I was actually thinking about making a thread like this myself, but you beat me to it.
