RGB Color Percentages

[Attache]

Hey! I don't know if I am the only person that finds this stuff useful but I was reminded today of this website that gives the RBG percentages on a jillion colors, enabling easy adjustment of UI and speech bubbles. Of course, you can always just play around with it and find what you like but I like this as a starting point. Plus, you can screenshot your character and sample the color scheme in something like photoshop and get the hexadecimal color code, which you can put right into the search bar and get those RBG percentages without having to eyeball it. 

I have found these values doing web searches too but this makes it pretty one stop, generally. I hope someone else finds it useful.

I took a screenshot of the color palette, and use that to sample the colors in my image editor.

There are many RGB and other color-mixer sites, but that one's as good as any. I've found, though, that picking a color on a wheel does not always give quite the results desired when transferred to CoX settings; I think the overall play of shading, video settings, light variation and such messes up any ideal of a particular color.

 

It's useful to know how to implement the color options and commands, but they are a bit nonlinear.

 

The color setting for the UI is quite straightforward —

 

/window_color R G B T

 

— using values of 0-255 and with T being opacity and having a value of 0=no opacity and 255=nearly invisible.

 

The one for chat bubbles, OTOH, uses additive integer values that are almost too complicated to bother with — use the sliders instead. But crazy-making, you can use RGB values in the inline code. (And there, the SCALE factor doesn't work any more, although DURATION does.)

For those trying to match and/or coordinate colors with costume scheme, a while back I created a costume color scheme page on the HC Wiki at this link that has the hex and RGB representations of all the colors available in the costume editor. It's in the collapsed table under the heading Available Colors, and you can reveal the hex/RGB codes by clicking and dragging over each cell to highlight the 'hidden' text. I got the hex RGB codes directly from costume save files so they should be accurate.

The costume files had RGB codes, not hex codes as I erroneously recalled

I'm glad I posted this because these are a bunch of great suggestions! Thanks all!
