EDIT: I had to rename them all to red2, white2, limegreen2, etc because I tried to add them and forgot to check the vmt file my guy made me and it was wrong and I added it to the server by editing your sp file and it was a bunch of purple and black checkers. lol

I tested it out on my PC and they work fine now.

I attached the sp file for ya.
First of all i want to thank you and your friend for interesting in improving this plugin.

Baby Blue, Lime Green, Purple is good enough.

But Blue, Red, White is no so good
Blue is very dark on orange surfaces (see attached screenshots)
Red is very untransparent, so it looks to much contrast (see attached screenshots)
White has hard edges so it does not looks real. (compare white with blue or cyan - attached)

And that is not all. I think too contrast and too dark colors as dark blue and red and purple are not so good because these colors did not subtractive (or additive secondaries).

Additional info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

So when too dark or contranst colors are mixing on surface they simply goes to black. And in css the paintball decals ofcourse will mixing with each others. That's why addictivity is much important than variaty.

So you should use light rgb or light ryb colors (additive secondary), or cmyk colors (subsctractive primary).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

1.jpg is corrupted by forum, you can see it here - http://clip2net.com/page/m0/2454704

So included colors are becomes very different when they mixed with each others.
For example when orange mixed with yelow it becomes red, so dont think that in real game there will be only 5 included colors. After they will be mixed you'll get almost all other colors.

But on your server new colors looks very nice! So i think i should add some config to let people add any colors by themselfs without recompiling plugin.
