With the upcoming UI rework, one thing I am hoping Paradox will do is have different cultural UIs. When the UI was revealed, some suggested that the countries color or secondary color should be used for each country though Arheo explained that was not quite the easiest thing to do. Which makes sense, Just count the number of countries in the Iberian Peninsula or Greece for example.
Still I think it would be great for different cultures to have a different UIs. By tying it to culture groups, maybe more than one group. It wouldn't be as annoying as having to recolor the UI roughly 30 different times just for northwest Iberia. So for example if it was just based on recoloring you could have the various Indian countries use Orange as their primary color, the Celtic countries use Green, Leventine cultures could use Purple, and so on.
Or and this is my preference though I do acknowledge this would take longer for the UI artists to do is for there to be different cultural styles based on countries. So for example the various Celtic culture groups would use a wood panel finish instead of having a marble background. in the rework UI, there is the Meander design at the top of Headers, but perhaps the Celts would use Triskelions, and so on. this way when you are playing as one of the Celtic tribes you have a very different look to things.
Regardless of which way to have more cultural UIs. I think that having them would help with immersion and me good instead of every country using Red that has been shown off in the dev diaries.
