I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but when I first saw this, I didn't really like it. In the original StarCraft, the Protoss' primary colors were Light Blue and Gold, added with the team colors. In the new StarCraft, it appears the Light Blue theme has been removed. Here are some screenshots: [img width=670 height=502]http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/812/812939/starcraft-ii-20070814050825864.jpg[/img] Green crystals in the Pylons and green blades on the Zealots, and no light blue.

[img width=640 height=480]http://www.carlsguides.com/pictures/starcraft/protoss7attack.jpg[/img] In the original StarCraft, no matter the color, there was always a Light Blue theme. I don't know, I guess I could live without the lightblue, but I think that would make it look a lot better. What does everyone else think?
The only blue the Toss the really is just death animations and a few crystals. Only change is the crystals in the pylons
and the crystals on the buildings for instance on top of the nexus, but other than crystals and blade color the protoss' main colors are the same for the most part they look the same don't worry man this happens with all sequels, they change the colors and graphics, at first you don't like them, then after awhile of playing you get used to them, then if you go back and play an earlier game in the series you think that, that game was off
I like the new color change for the pylons, diversity in colors between teams make it look more enjoyable to look at. My personal favorite team colors for the protoss are blue and orange.
