Is there a way to put some darker shade or something so i can actually see it?
Sometimes where theres a bunch of lights, like fire or lightning, the unique on the ground looks exactly like a white item!
look at this, i just screenshot a run i did, can you truly tell right away wheres the unique? Wish i could change the color of items, like a filter or something, does somebody have any idea that could help? PS. I have perfect vision, not bragging about it, just so people maybe can wonder if i can see right… it’s the color pallet, it’s bad!

For me, it’s easy to spot a unique item when there are also rares laying on the ground, but a bit harder to tell if it’s a unique when its by itself.
I have similar difficulties telling the difference between TP and ID scrolls in the inventory. I think the ID scrolls inner red portion needs to be made both a bit larger and a brighter shade of red. I had no problems telling the difference between the scrolls in the original game.
I’m slightly protan. The in-game protan settings don’t help.
I feel you, but i think you already have a sight condition that affects that, am I wrong? I mean, it’s hard to see the unique on d2r, it’s way easier when you switch to old grafics, but the prob with old grafics is the screen size… and I enjoy the newer grafics and 60FPS…
Nobody knows some kind of way to improve or darken the unique color???
Have you tried adjusting your screen settings and the in game visual settings?
i did so yes, i think i should try something else, thanks for asking though
not sure if your color blind or not. just a guess since sounds like TP and ID scrolls are hard to tell apart. maybe try turning on color blind mode?

I agree. Make unique red or purple as option.

I sincerely doubt they are going to change that. Grab it as fast as you can! Then chuck it if necessary!
why? color of uniques is easy to see when you not have some eye damage.
Have you tweaked your screen settings?
I did with the NVIDIA thing, the game looked way better, but it made unique and rare look the same so I had to turn it off again… 
A setting to fine tune the colors would be nice. 
I would use the feature.
I imagine they’re waiting for the UI to be complete before doing color changes and stuff. Still need to fix (!) overhead chat.
Also with socketed and eth items sharing the same gray.
Shouldn’t be too hard to change the hex values on the interface. probably built into the game already but is not changeable by the player.
Changing color of text is 10 mins work. If we add that to a checkbox. 3 hours top include testing.
I was hoping to get a color wheel so we could adjust that to our liking.
I mean it’s a menu page with all item rarity and a color square you click on to customise.
Heck we could differentiate between socketed and ethereal with that change too (I’d put ethereal w/purple in my case).
A huge +1 for QoL change.
While an “incorrect” color for uniques is usually an HDMI issue (full vs. limited range), it can be made moot by one of the accessibility features I suggested in another thread, which is to give players control over the color of specific item drops. I initially only suggested the feature for gems and runes so players with specific types of colorblindness can select a color they can see, I don’t see why it can’t be expanded to all loot categories (gems, runes, magic, rare, unique, set).
PoE avoided much of this by having customization built into its API so filters could do exactly what you’re looking for. Additionally, their unique coloring is darker so as not to look like a rare item. It makes a huge difference in visibility, especially for those with color issues.
