I could darken the red on that some.
By the way, what would you people think of everything else using a red background with a white cross? It just doesn't look right not being red to me, medical supplies in video games have always traditionally used red. (there may be some exceptions to that, but the most common one by far is red)
Again, I will stress my point that we should be aiming to keep things as visually similar as possible to how they already are. There are (unwritten) standards in place, and we should not try to deviate from them for the sake of it. Not only for visual reasons, but for gameplay too. It would probably take people some time to get used to the green, plus, it seems more like it would be poison to me.
If not red, then I suggest blue instead. It seems much more healthy to me.
Personally, I think I like the green better than the red, and my thoughts on the alleged neccessity to stay visually comparable to the original Doom have been spewed around enough so I won't repeat them here. (Well, at least I hope not. :P)
Blue is poorly represented in the Doom palette though, and will probably look terrible in bad lighting. Aside from that, I personally can't see it as a 'health color' the same way that I see red and green.
If anything, I think the whiteness and square shape of the health supplies is more visually significant anyway.
