Having no space between the players' colors makes the layout look a bit too wide. There's too much dead space there to me.
But since the creation of the score monitors, the aspect ratio of the home viewers' screens have increased. Yes, the three-shot will be visible on the toss ups, the speedup round, and in transitions. During most of the gameplay, you have the contestant's color, and no "uncolored" spaces. If done right, the whole display could change to the spinner's color, so that the flanks of red and blue aren't even visible on Yellow's 1-shot.
And now that it's wider, maybe someone was listening
my idea to display prizes next to the scores.
