After playing with so many different combinations I think I've found one that solves a lot of the problems.
A couple things to note:
If we can get this on UAT at @amadanmath convenience that'd be great. Currently I cannot test Global/personal stats with this color scheme (local is really broken atm) so I'd like to see how those look.
Couple of random notes -
Personally i would also prefer option of being able to switch colour schemes for percentiles....mainly because rainbow =p
I know some people have been overriding the CSS with their own version but not sure what they're using to do so. Is there a possibility for people to upload their own CSS or have a fully customisable CSS ? O_O (i know this is probably heading into stupid long development features)
As a designer I think leaving it up to people to override CSS is... lazy. They didn't really feel the need to do that before and if they feel "forced" to it's a major problem with the UI.
We could support a couple of different percentile themes, it's exponentially easier to do that an entire website theme, but I wouldn't want to use the "rainbow" as the default theme. The default choice should be the one we determine is "easiest" to use because most people won't bother changing it.
Initially I think having the above scheme as a default and the "rainbow" and a color blind scheme would be a good start.
I've created 3 "percentile themes" and added some UI to the account section to be able to change between them. The precious 🌈 is in tact, I did tweak it a bit to be less vibrant for certain colors.
I don't know how to hook up the switch for changing the theme so I'll need someone else to do that for me. There are now 3 separate stylesheets in the
that can be toggled on and off based on what radio button they've selected in the account options.Uh, I just meant that you could override css on prod for testing purposes and see how it looks on the global stats page etc. Without waiting on bright :p
Apparently the close button is easy to hit by accident
Oh gotcha @Toeofdoom. I finally was able to fix my local though ha :D.
Version 2.1.0b2 released on 2018-04-09 17:48:56
We've received a ton of feedback, obviously, about the colors of the site :). Some of it I believe is something we should change sooner rather than later and the rest maybe some change aversion people are going through which may fade over time as people adapt.

Summary
Problems I've identified that are not associated with change aversion:
Solution(s)
I've been working on a different color scheme, which involves a gradation from grey>orange>blue>purple. I think it significantly reduces the amount of work it take to scan dense color areas. I've also added a very subtle darker outline to buff displays to offset any vibration the color can cause against a darker background.
I've tried a lot of different combinations here and even been asking someone with colorblindness (green weak which is about 5% of males) for feedback on different themes. Just for clarity these are the restrictions I found while doing this:
Still working on it and tweaking but changes can be seen here: https://github.com/merforga/gw2raidar/tree/colors
