In real life, I have some visual issues ; a strong myopia and some difficulties to see details on some color contrast and when I play CDDA with the base color palette, my eyes bleed especially on the overworld map. So i made this palette with in my opinion some improved contrasts.
Here is a link to the gist of the file : [https://gist.github.com/Leosky/bf0e06be0754a0b30f3e5f498a4fe290](https://gist.github.com/Leosky/bf0e06be0754a0b30f3e5f498a4fe290)
You just have to copy the file or it’s content to ‘CDDA\_PATH/config/base\_colors.json’
Here is some screenshots (I can’t post more than one so i put the others in a gallery) :

You can see on the map’s screenshot some location that where previously realy hard to see (under the s and i of city tag.
I’m open for discussion and i would me more than happy to improve it.

I don’t have any problem with my sight but that surely looks better, or at least refreshing. Gonna use it for some more time and see how it goes.
