Keep the current white for Xcom units, make it red for enemies and green for friendlies.
Xcom in TFTD is green.
(Unless you change the resources in DETBLOB.DAT)
So green cannot be used for neutrals (which you call friendlies), because it is already used for friendlies/allies.
TFTD doesn't have a red color range, the best I can do is "dirty orange".
To make it at least a bit compatible with the minimap colors, I suggest blue for enemies, red/orange for neutrals, white/green for friendlies.
