Secondary Colors
It's a little bit annoying to miss out on a game just because you're picking a color.
Having preset secondary and tertiary colors would help to counter this.
Of course, being able to set the priority of all of the colors would be the best solution to this problem but that may be more trouble than it's worth. Two or three should be fine.
I’m pleased to announce that WarLight now supports secondary colors! Just visit https://www.warlight.net/ChangeColor and you can enter an alternate color that will automatically be used when your primary color is taken.

Is this still valid after adding the option to change a person's color?

Is this the best way to solve the problem? How about making the server consider you "joined" as soon as you click the "join" button (and chose a colour afterwards)? No extra choices necessary and it would work equally for everyone (you click first == you're in the game, irrespective of whether you have to chose a colour).
That does cause another problem: trolls joining a game (but not picking a colour) being able to stall it, theoretically indefinitely. However, the host can always kick people who join but are deliberately not choosing a colour. Also, the "start game" button (which, if memory serves, currently even works for games with open slots remaining) could forcibly assign a random colour to players who are too lazy to actually pick one, which also solves the issue.

I'm out of votes, but I would be happy to see More color options. but a secondary color would be a very nice addition too
