It looks orange to me, very similar to the Empire colour. Perception is weird.

Well, unless the monitors happen to be color calibrated don't trust a color on one monitor to appear the exact same on another monitor... Kinda an orangish red here.

I am having color issues. I downloaded this file and put it in place -- and the system ignores it totally. I have deleted EVERY color from this file -- and I STILL get a red or brown too dark to read! Any suggestions?

I tested this elsewhere, on a machine where I compiled this in a subdirectory of my home directory -- and it appears to work. I compiled to /opt as root in order to be able to just call the program from anywhere -- but this appears to have broken this color functionality. Does that make sense? I'm a newby at compiling code. I was given to understand that if you want the commands to work anywhere from the path, you use /usr/share or /opt. Am I to understand that this doesn't work for freeorion?
