Okay, this will probably get lost fairly soon and it's not a major request, but - am I the only one bothered at how colorful the battles of the prequels, especially the opening to ROTS look like?

I mean the ships specifically. The Originals did have some colorfully painted ships (X-Wings and Y-Wings at Yavin, for example) but whether these were miniatures and colors looked more real and muted, or because it was offset with the pure grey/blueish hues of the Imperial fleet, it didn't look bad.

Watching a brief cut of the opening of the battle of Coruscant made me think that ships, especially capital ships, have way, way too much coloration in the prequels. Especially with the far too saturated and bright "low orbit" setting, it makes for an eye-soring festival of colours not unlike that in Rio, but definately not serious as a battle should be.

 Maybe this could be toned down and have fleets be differentiated mostly by the design of the ships (as in the battle of Endor), or leaving only partial color markings? Like leave only the three red stripes on each side of the Venator Star Destroyer "wings" instead of the entire red hull.

Same for Confederate ships. Far too colorful, IMHO.
