I think this would be a good option, especially for vet players who have been here for a long time and have become accustomed to the way their layout looked without having multiple (primarily departmental) colors to their buff/power icons.
I.e. Now:
Tac = Red
Eng = Orange/Yellowish
Sci = Blue
Etc.
This is not a request to revert to the old UI.
This is simply a request for an icon color scheme called "classic" similar to the Fed, KDF and Romulan "classic" UI color schemes, except it would apply to powers in power trays.
Funny, the colors actually help spot things better for me (and probably most people). Not sure how plain white everything is more helpful. Anyway, don't tell me you've been playing for two+ years and don't use keybinds anyway.
I love them, they are a big help. I think one of the devs said that it's not possible to color the power icons like it is to color the rest of the UI. Every other MMO uses colored icons. If they do this eventually, then I'd be happy for you, but don't get your h0pes up.

Aside from the high contrasty UI themes this is most probably the biggest culprit.
An option to get a more neutral colored UI would be great.
Yes, and hopefully this would require a small time investment to implement.
The question still remains though, why was there need to change them in the first place?
