Color does not change weapon accuracy or repair a poor size and gap. It answers one question: can you find the center immediately through map textures, utility, and fast camera movement?

Choose by elimination
- Keep size, gap, and thickness fixed.
- Test your two most-played maps first.
- Check bright walls, dark corners, foliage, smoke edges, and fire.
- Eliminate colors that disappear in a frequent scene.
- Use a full deathmatch to choose between the final two.
Outline can add a boundary for white or very thin crosshairs, but it also adds coverage. Pick the main color first, then use the smallest outline that solves a specific background problem.
