Ok, ok. I know everyone has issues with this game once and a while, but I need some help understanding color boxes. I will probably not check on this forum until the weekend, mainly because my good computer is at my dad's house and I go to his house on every weekend. 1 weekend per month is an exception where I stay at my mom's house, and if I don't reply or something to you're post in this topic, I'm sorry because I'm probably at my mom's house that weekend. Anyways, I'm resorting to using the family computer at my mom's house, bla bla bla, stuff.

I know, I got way off topic in there. But it needed to be clarified. So, can anyone help me get the idea of the whole color box and color options tab in other items? Please help me understand this. Thanks!

I will give it a shot.

As you've noticed you're mainly working with three colours. (Red, Green, Blue)
Those colours are mainly used for creating pretty much every colour you can think of.



alpha/alpha tint: Define how transparent the coloured tile will become in the end.

Brightness: Negative value causes the tile to appear darker, positive value changes the tile colour lighter.

Contrast: It's for the ... well contrast. It defines how pixelated a tile will look like in the end. So the colours look
way more seperated from each other.

Saturation: You can change how much colour of the original tile stays visible, thus means that Saturation -100 will
remove the complete original colour. The result would be a greyish tile, while the opposite increases
the amount of used original colour resulting in getting pretty colourful items.

Hue: You can change the original colour of each tile, while keeping the colour differences. Thus means that grass
tiles would change their colour seperated by grass and earth.

I'm horrible in explaining this stuff, so don't hurt me. : <
