They are dark green actually, but admittedly it is hard to tell dark green from dark gray...

Load/save window:
The color at PC fits better to the background color.
The grey used for AC each second line is not so good.

Another UI suggestion: In the 'unit list', minefields are displayed before aircraft. During Cauldron you have to scroll past the many landmines to see your planes in the list, mines and other structures would best be displayed last I guess.

Does this version work better for active/inactive axis/allied units?

The Allies and Axis icons are certainly easier to keep apart now.

It's difficult to judge the land units (I will photoshop this later for myself to be sure), but the sea units have sufficient contrast. If I'm really being a perfectionist; it might help to have the icon borders get a bit darker when the unit has spent its action.

BTW, did you get the library additions?
