1 The hot and cold idea doesn't really constrain it as much as it sounds. The range of available colours is more limited by ensuring it stands out from the map and stands out as icons. This part is non-negotiable, excepting a sudden wide-scale mutation in every human eyeball to increase the width of the visible spectrum, and the associated changes to computer monitors. 1 The hot and cold idea doesn't really constrain it as much as it sounds.

3 The cold/warm part only constrains distribution, and helps quite a bit with ally/enemy identification and team identification for spectators, especially at a glance, but isn't strictly necessary. In the current version you can turn that off locally, as the team-based colours are a separate widget. You say having it off would mean not having two similar shades of red on the same team, but imagine if those two similar shades were on opposite teams, and currently fighting each other. How would you know if your ally is winning or losing by looking at the battle, at least while there is still time to help? 3 The cold/warm part only constrains distribution, and helps quite a bit with ally/enemy identification and team identification for spectators, especially at a glance, but isn't strictly necessary.
