It really looks ugly with some factions:

I have no problems with purple, one of my favourite colours. So, I disagree?

Cyan doesn't look better...

And the mill has the same icon as the workshop.

Color them based on function, not fraction. Green for food, yellow for gold...

i would say that people should be able to choose a color based on their kingdom/empire they choose

you already are able to customize your souvereign and will be wiith the kingdoms... why not those colours :)

or maybe one will be able to mod it in???

Good point. Why should they be colored anyway? I don't think the actual buildings need to be colored either. Just a flag somwhere in the city would do. City icons on cloth map could be colored though.

It might be me, but really the clothmap-like improvement icons look very out of place on the 3D view. I can see these being used in Cloth Map Only mode, but I would rather the 3d-enabled game just display the actual icons for the buildings (like shown in the research screens, or actual shrunk images of the constructed buildings).
