Two points:
It's hard to tell certain player colors apart when you're viewing ships at maximum range. In particular, red and magenta. The color chosen for Beryl (magenta) should be changed to be easily distinguishable from the pirate color.
We need to be able to change our player color if it turns out we've chosen poorly. I chose teal, which is hard to tell from Princess what's-her-face's blue.
