 Also, colors will need to be handled carefully. It would be a bastard if a dangerous creature and a harmless common critter are just one shade different.
I agree with this, and its an issue with the 16 colors, s'why I suggested the 1k colors, so various critters could get their own color, use different colors to represent what they do. Like all green Goblins are archers.
And Neon Green are jewelers, and Nerf Green are hunters, and Green LED are gem setters...

Don't change it! How will I feel elitist if anyone could look over my shoulder and tell what was going on?

I'm pretty sure that guy in the Matrix could have translated his screen into images if he wanted to, but it's so much cooler if only you can read it.

I'm kinda of taken back on how heated this got, when it was just three questions, so I can get why some of the design choices, so they would stop bugging me.
