Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.

Description
There are 12 possible player colors in Lambda Wars (my modest contribution), and here's a spectrum-based color scheme that makes telling allies from enemies easy. This one is applicable to the Squad Wars map sw_woodland that was remade for 3-team gameplay.
I'm too lazy to do it myself at the moment (and this image is way too small anyway), but here is a tool to help test these colors for various Color Blindnesses:
Color-blindness.com
Can also just help to give a new perspective onto things and how the colors look. Chances are if you can make them totally distinct in the 2 most common color blindnesses (iirc that's Protonomaly and Deuteranomaly), it's probably a good-looking set of colors for the rest of us too.
Thanks for the advice, I uploaded the original image to the site, the colors stay distinct for the weakened sensitivity to any color :)
