Analyze Interference - make colour changeable

Analyze Interference - make colour changeable

The "Analyze Interference" function is very handy. However, it is hard-coded to highlight the interfering volume in red. This is good when using steel parts:

but it's not good when the parts are painted red!

This colour should be selectable/changeable/customisable so that it will always stand out.

This idea is imho ok (everyone can suggest what ever one wants - of course). But here the "work around" is quite short (I´m pretty sure you know that.): 

new design representation, select (all) parts, select a color

I´m counting around 7 clicks. 

Or you could change the visual style to wire frame - even less clicks AND this is possible with the interference command open!

 

What if my assembly is colorful and I´m not able to choose a color for inteference that is not in use already? Wouldn´t it be great if Inventor could pick the color itself, depending on the surrounding part colors - at least dynamically when the view is changing (rotating)? 

 

My point is: I think there are more important topics to work on.

Wireframe is a good workaround, thanks.

A high contrast/colorblind mode could be helpful for some of my coworkers...
