This is something I would really like to see as it would improve the gameplay 100 fold.
When V is pressed, color items by type (for example filthy clothes mod makes filthy items brownish). Would make going through loot much more efficient. For example:
- Weapons: Red
- Ammo: Orange
- Tools: Yellow
etc
Srsly.

I like the idea, but please no dark blue over black background.
I’m too young to be already loosing sight.

ability to manually change the color/ default color like whitelisting/blacklisting monsters would be a plus.
