PLAYER COLOR & RGBA
Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:24 pm
Before I get to what this post is about, this could have been posted in either the "Tools" section or, obviously, "General." I actually flipped a coin to decide, but if any mods feel it would be better positioned in the other section, I apologize for making things difficult. Also, it's quite possible that this has been posted before and I didn't see it during my search. Again, I apologize if that's the case.
Anyway, today I was looking around and I noticed that there were some colors I could apply to my character, specifically these colors - black, blue, brown, cyan, gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow.
This is all fine and dandy and it's a hell of a lot easier to just type out the name of a color and be done with it, but when I tried to change my color to blue - it being my favorite and all, - it came out looking more like purple than anything else and we don't want that.
So, again I did some digging and discovered that I could use RGBA codes which allows players to choose the EXACT color they want. I continued my search to try and find some info on using those kind of codes and found zilch, zero, nada. I took matter into my own hands and discovered THIS website and figured I'd share it with everyone.
In case you're not sure which slider does what, - from top to bottom it goes, color, saturation, brightness, and opacity. The opacity slider doesn't need to be adjusted and should be left on 1.
Once you have the color you want, the code is under the sliders in the center. Just hop back into your game, either singleplayer or multiplayer(it works on both,) hit the tilde(~) button to open the console, and type /color and your code. It should look something like this, "/color 0 62 133". Just input the 3 numbers, don't include the parenthesis, commas, or the fourth number.
Now, with all of that said, there was absolutely NO reason for me to type as much as I did here and I feel silly for doing so, but I've always figured if I'm gonna post a thread, I'm gonna put some effort into it.
If you read everything, you the real MVP. For everyone else...
TL;DR - Click THIS, pick your color, go back into your game and type /color and use only the 3 numbers. It should look like this - "/color 0 62 133"
