Customizes the color and size of the weapon range ticks in combat. There can be multiple color sets to improve visibility for maps with various colors.
There are multiple color sets defined by default:

The user is able to cycle through the color schemes during combat using Ctrl+T

Hotkey
The hotkey to cycle the tick colors defaults to Ctr+T, but can be changed via the nextColorKeyBinding value.

All colors use the common RGB hex format. For example, Red is FF0000.
