Instructions:

It is advised that you backup any file before applying any change. Modify at your own risk.

Close the game if it is running.
Use the sliders above until you are satisfied with the outcome.
Navigate to \%AppData%\..\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\options\graphics
Open the file named GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml - You can create the file if it does not exist.

If you have to create the file, paste the default values to the file.
If the file already exists, we suggest creating a backup before you edit.

Copy the generated code below and replace the <MatrixRed> section.
Save and close the file.

Generated Code:

Default Values:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<GraphicsConfig>
    <GUIColour>
        <Default>
            <LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
            <MatrixRed> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixRed>
            <MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
            <MatrixBlue> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixBlue>
        </Default>
    </GUIColour>
</GraphicsConfig>

You can revert to standard colors by copying the code above and overwriting your GraphicsConfiguration.xml. You can also delete the section from <GUIColour> to </GUIColour>.
