Peano doesn't say that the active layer isn't more obvious in different colour schemes
He doesn't have to, he corrected your unnecessary post as did I.
Here are the facts John. The two darkest color scheme are the same difference between active and non active (10 units of Lstar). So it doesn't matter which you pick, they are the same difference. The 2nd lightest has an Lstar difference of 17, the lightest has a difference of 21. But
NONE are colors (colours), all gray (or if you must, grey) as both Peano and I told you.
If you had done your due diligence, you would have told the OP to use the lightest color scheme which provides the greatest difference between active and non active and you would have pointed out the difference isn't in color but in gray/grey. But you're not here to help the OP it appears but rather to try to give the impression you have a clue about Photoshop's UI.
The OP
specifically wants
COLORS. Something you can't seem to understand or admit as it would make your suggesting a non starter. Read what he wrote if you can, and attempt to understand that he asked about color and provided two colored examples using English words!
You do understand what the word
color means?
Do you understand what the OP
specifically asked for (
Like a red or blue for example) means
?Apparently you don't in your need to be correct when most of what you wrote here wasn't. It appears that reality
continues to ruin your life.
