Because the Red Commander will be concentrating on taking stuff from Red, the Blue Commander will take stuff from Blue and Green will take Green.
One of the 3 colors wont be used on your team per week because you are that color for that week, but Green must become a possible color.
Yellow or Purple can be used for other stuff such as Offense and Defense, while the tag which is your current team color is could be used for Havoc(if you are playing Blue, Blue tag becomes Havoc Squad etc).
We need Green tag. It is unfair to not have Green as a tag color when WvW uses Red Blue Green as team colors. Please add it. You said “Command the Rainbow”. There is no Rainbow without Green.
Arenanet has always shown favouritism towards the Green team. Green is the strongest of the 3 teams in any WvW matchups, they have the hardest Keep to cap(most easily defended) in EB, they even get overpowered healing Trolls in EotM, and they also get the awsome bug that stops anyone from capping the Green Keep in EotM because the Champion that summons Earth Elementals fails to spawn inside the Keep. Now we wont even get a matching Commander Tag color to attack Green.
I don’t know why they didn’t actually just make a whole rainbow of colors instead of just 4. It’s not like it would be difficult at all. I mean, anyone could go into kitten or photoshop or probably paint and make like, 5 more colors of tags. If you’re going to advertise “BIG COMMANDER CHANGES” and all it is is colored tags, atleast give us all the colors.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink. You could probably even add white and black if you really wanted to.
All I wanted was a pink tag, Anet. Pink. Hot pink, light pink, I don’t care. Pink. Tags.

I would much prefer to have a green tag over the pink/purple one. Not sure why they chose that color, except it having to do with color blindness? (but isn’t that why they changed the green server color to be more bright?)
Are you crazy? Do you know the insane amount of time and money that make a new color takes? What do you want, a 2 months delay to change the HUE and add a new menu item? Please no.
Well – if you’re ignoring the ‘N’ in ‘GWEN’, the most essential WvW classes in zergs would be Guardians (Blue tag), Warriors (Yellow tag), Elementalists (Red tag) and Veil Bots (Purple tag).
Oh, the irony…
- just image every player with their class specific color tagging up. Everything would be Yellow/Blue, with a few red dots in between and a maximum of 1-2 purple tags within the masses
Call me crazy, but I suspect the reason they’re not using green is a simple matter of color contrast and visibility.
At least 2/3 of the land on the WvW map surface (i.e. world map/mini map, which is typically how people find commander tags) is green in color. It might be a bit dodgy having to spot the green tag on the green background.

You beat me to the punch.
The red/blue/yellow/pink combination is the best 4 colour combination they could use while still making sure that colourblind people aren’t confused by some of the colours.
as a colour blind person, I already get confused by aoe circles that all look white to me even though everybody else says they have different colours like red etc. A green comm tag is going to be very very hard to see for me.
Well I would rather have a wheel of 24 millions colors, but after a year expectations are kinda low so 4 colors will have to do; Even through Black and White would have been nice.
The disappointment comes only from the fact that there is nothing else for WvW: 1 trick, 3 tag colors, GG see you after the next tournament, perhaps.
Red and Green cannot be discerned by some clearly and clean.
To prevent confusion by colorblind people, I do actually NOT recommend a green tag.
I also do not recommend the use of an orange tag because it cannot be discerned from the blue tag by some blue/orange colorblind people.
Actually, this might be why ArenaNet did not include a green color.
green will fit badly to pve or wvw, cause more then 50% of terrain is green aswell. No need for green, 4 tags is enough. Yellow, purple are awesome colours and very contrast, red can maybe sometimes go with enemy red names but will see it.
I would like devs to focus already on other things, this changes are good startfor futher co-work. (late, easrly doesn’t matter)

I think the color coordination will probably be made in voice comms. Maybe a channel for each color/squad. We wont have to “join squad” as much.
In our case we use TS we comanders pm each other when in the same map one goes defense the other one offense. When 3 comanders present 2 offense and 1 defense. Pretty simple stuff
