EFS 50 HSI Colors

Comparing the in-sim EFS 50 HSI to the color photo on the Bendix King manual found here:

The #1 bearing pointer and the green approach text colors are a bit too dark compared to the RL models. Is it possible to lighten up the colors to make them more accurate and easier to read?

I was able to make a quick fix by editing:

Community\bksq-aircraft-tbm850\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\bksq-aircraft-tbm850\EFS40_HSI\HorizontalSituationIndicator.js

Line 50: this.blueColor = "#006099";
Line 54: this.greenColor = "#00A651";

And changing the color codes to match this.blueColorLight and this.greenColorLight.

Now they read:

this.blueColor = "#0ABEFF";
this.greenColor = "#00D868";

Result:

I always thought the blue was a little dark too. Since there were two shades of blue, I must have sampled it from real world imagery somewhere. I think that your change to combine them all into the same two colors adds so much clarity to the instrument that I'm willing to make the change, though. Thanks for previewing it for me!
