Different colored Auras for Gen-Perks

Anyone else feels like Gen-Perks should have different colored Auras?

As Killer: When you kick a gen with Eruption the gen stays yellow. When you also run Discordance you can't tell if there are 2 Survivors on this gen or if it's yellow because of eruption.

As Survivor: You can't tell if the gen is yellow because of for example Wiretap, red herring or because of Trail of Torment.


Surveillance for example highlights the Gen aura white. Multiple colors for different perks would help.


EDIT: Has anyone noticed that Outdoor-Gens have typical red auras and Indoor-Gens are yellow by default now?

So Perks highlight gens in yellow but indoor-gens are yellow by default?! That's such a weird design choice.

    Well the killer aura matching the survivor auras for better together and wiretap/blast mine makes sense since trail of torment is meant to be a perk that makes survivors uneasy so piggy backing off the same aura color to make people worry is just part of the perk. But for killer info since they already see normal gen auras yea sure why not

    Trail of Torment having the same colored aura like Survivor perks sounds fine to me but this won't be possible if Survivor Perks also have different colors. I mean Wiretap is a perk where Survivors want to be near the gen while Red Herring is a perk where Survivors really don't want to be near. In SWF you can tell what the aura means but not in Solo Q.

    (Not that this really matters since no one ever plays Red Herring but just for example)

    "we hear the community, however introducing different colours for auras will take years"
