Light color on map view

As in title. Simple little thing: active light color on map view, instead of "generic blue" dot.
Profit - visible on map live displays and status indicators, without placing radars and zooming.
Same thing for Rail Signals.

Man, you have some great ideas!
I've had the want for this before also. It would be utterly fantastic if it could be done and implemented in the game. Probably can be done too. Even better if coloured lamps show their individual coloured dots too...

After some deeper thoughts, it may be harder that it seams.
If preview map data is "cached", and updated only after placing or removing entities (trains, ranges etc are separate layers), it may not refresh lights colors "live". Maybe once a second...
And It may be hard to trace and plot thousands of light at once, may cause lags and UPS drops.
