What colour and sides should I paint my order dice to make them easier to read and differentiate

I asked on r/boltaction: What colour and sides should I paint my order dice to make them easier to read and differentiate

I want to paint my order dice some bright colours on their words. Is there a standard or guide to follow?

I've now had 2 games of Bolt Action and an immediate problem I have is looking at my order dice, carefully choosing the right side, putting it down, and then needing to pick it up to see what the order is.

I feel like the only 2 orders that actually matter to be able to see is AMBUSH and DOWN. The rest don't really have an impact after I declare the order and action, I think?

Also, I had a problem where I have Khaki (British) dice with light word colour and my opponent had brown (Russian) dice with a dark word colour and I kept getting them mixed up, little lone the day I play someone else with the same order dice.

Currently I'm thinking of painting Down and Ambush in bright Neon Glow In The Dark orange and red because that's what I have, but I'm wondering what other players have done to solve this problem. 

 

Reply was how do I intend to paint it:

A thinned paint and paint it in the indented words is what I'm thinking of.

Otherwise paint a thin spread of paint on a palette and then just stamp the top side of it down to make it a different colour.

Or both! That's what I'm wondering what other people have done.

Someone complained you don't want to tell your dice apart:

Oh I get it, it would maybe feel different when choosing them in the bag.

Painting the letters only would avoid that I would think. Use a very thin paint to do it, so it stays in the indent.

 Then they complained about THAT:

I could just do the line with the arrow on top of the word in a bright colour. I don't need to do the word if I know what colour means what at a glance

If you can feel and tell a different in two small indents to choose your own dice, well good luck to using that ability.

Besides, I could/world ask my opponent to take the dice out of the bag each time.

 

Which overall is why it was a good idea to ask. Just paint in the single line with the arrow above the word on two sides.
