Question: Colour actions and how to use them

[naughtydolphin]

I always see people saying "I used so and so's color actions." What are color actions and how do you use them?

Well, some people are known for their recolors and their specific color pallette. Take Pooklet, for example. Check their pallette here:

Many people like those colors (mainly for hair - but it's used for objects as well), but recoloring all the hairs/ojects manually in all those colors is quite a task.

So, some turned made the recolor-action into scripts for recolor programs such as Photoshop. That way, you start with one (base) color (usually a blonde), and then use the scripts to get all the other colors with just a few clicks. The outcome is lots of recolors in pretty much always the same shade/hue/etc of the pallette and you get matching things in your game.

I hope this makes sense?
