Company colours are set per company, and optionally per vehicle type, with some more detailed options for e.g. Steam, Diesel, Passenger coach etc.
Desired
Ability to set company colours independently for each group in vehicle groups.
I haven't tried to specify how the UI might work as choices might be limited by implementation details.
Bonus Prize 1
Additionally the UI is also weird and hard to use, requiring player to combine both checkboxes and dropdown choices to set or unset the colours. Could it be easier to use?
Bonus Prize 2
The existing 'detailed' choices by vehicle type are incomplete or odd. Examples:
there are limited options for RVs, ships, aircraft vs. trains, e.g. no Steam Lorry etc
for trains, the options conflate power type and railtype, e.g. Steam, Diesel, Maglev, Monorail
there's no support for liveries by newgrf railtype
'Passenger Coach' also changes the colour of mail vehicles, and vehicles with no cargo type. This is non-obvious
A diesel pax railcar will use 'Diesel Engine', rather than 'Passenger Coach (Diesel)'; there is no obvious answer about which is correct, both would have disadvantages
Rather than extending this to all types, it would be better IMHO to remove some of the options, or at least have a consistent approach across types. Changing familiar things will inevitably cause some player complaints, but it would be worth improving this.
