Color of PCB substrate in realistic mode

 

Right now the bare FR4 substrate is drawn in the same color as the
soldermask so trying to see details of soldermask cutouts (for example,
when designing a fiducial or PCB antenna that needs mask clearance
around it) is difficult. Does anyone else find this hard to see?

It should probably be displayed in some kind of yellow/tan/brown color
as that's what actual un-masked FR4 looks like (for example, around the
fiducials in
