How to make the zoning colours more distinct

cities-skylines

I have installed Cities Skylines on my HP Envy m6 laptop with Ubuntu 14 installed. I also have the laptop plugged into a 27 inch monitor.

The game appears to run without any issues, except for an exception when closing down. However, when I try to mark any of the first zones the zone colours are incredibly faint. So much so, that when I first tried to zone an area I kept clicking and dragging thinking that nothing was happening.

It took some time before I realised the zones were in fact being marked, it's just hard to see.

Is there a way to increase the visibility of the zone colours?

Perhaps a mod that does this?

This probably isn't the case for you (and isn't for me), but it wouldn't surprise me if people with red/green colour blindness couldn't distinguish the colour used for residential zones from the colour for industrial zones, and those with blue/yellow colour blindness having difficulty distinguishing commercial zones from residential zones. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any options for colour blind people, but one thing you can try is forcing the colour palette to one of the climates (Temperate, Boreal, or Tropical) in the options.
