They are indeed RGB color values, Red - Green - Blue. 'No color' is for when colors don't apply as for the transparent bmp graphics shown above.

Cheers,
Cameron

Status: offline 		What I don't understand (and I've tried to change unit colors in the editor) is why the colors that come out of the editor seem to have different RGB values than what you put in.

I was going to mod the unit colors for the vanilla game (lighten the Finns and make different color choices for the Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians) but ended up abandoning the project because the editor was ignoring the color values that I was trying to use.

If I didn't understand how the advanced editor worked (likely) and was merely doing something wrong, I might revive the project.

To be honest I've had the same problem. As far as I can tell there is some kind of interaction between the Regime colors and People colors that impacts stuff like flags. I used trial and error which can be a time intensive exercise. Vic may be able to chime in with an explanation.

Thanks for the kind words elsewhere. I had to google Mr Weller. I followed your recommendation on that one. It's good.

Cheers,
Cameron

The color of the icon should be the regime color (advanced editor) or if specified the people color (intermediate editor or advanced editor).

This color is then modified by any color specified for the historical unit (intermediate editor or advanced editor). Historical unit colors are NOT rgb but rgb modify values. So for example if regime color = 255,0,0 and historical unit color = 50,50,50 then the result would be 255,50,50.

best wishes,
Vic

(You can construct colors pretty much at will in Windows Paint, and if you do it in the color editor it gives the RGB as well as luminosity, etc.)

Status: offline 		Hi Philippe,
I find this table some times ago, you see the color, the RGB value and the first line is the HEX value (used on html/xml pages). I like this table because simulate a counters view.
The RGB value are the real RGB, so, if i understand Vic, we need to know the people or regime color to mod the colors for the game.
