Change color of animal tracks

[SlashingSunset]

It’s quite frustrating to follow the animal tracks, when the environment is glaring white, and the footprints are barely visible, since they’re a glowing white. I have to lower my brightness to the lowest setting, each time I try to track these animals.

Red would be an ideal color for the footprints. Just my thoughts...

Why not purple? There isn't a lot of purple places around. Or even green. Or dark blue.

Yeah, I remember seeing the devstream where the tracks were the color of flowers. 

Now is not significantly better though,

I would rather have a "scent fog" marker that is above the ground, at least it won't disappear underground in some Rocky terrain.

I remember seeing a Reddit post where this player actually had a really easy time locating tracks, because their potato-quality PC, and equally downgraded graphics, caused those tracks to appear a solid black, even in the distance. Altering the color of tracks to something solid and visually distinct, so that they clearly stand out regardless of the background they're against, should be the way to go, and ideally it should be done in such a way that colorblind people can participate as well (currently hunting is impossible to do consistently if colorblind).

I agree. Personally I'm not Colorblind, but I'd assume players who has it are having an even harder time tracking the footprints. I literally have to turn my brightness to the lowest, to track these footprints at times and that's rather annoying. Gives Orb Vallis a night time effect too in the process.

I'm surprised they didn't make some item in the Tenno lab to allow you to turn tracking colours/dyes into a researchable item using the colours your clan has unlocked. Give those colours an actual point outside of what shade or pretty pink you want your dojo to be.
