Skill colour codes?
So, I was looking at my character skills and noticed the text has different colours, screenshot for example here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1967059508

What do the different colours mean? I can't find anything on it, especially why sprinting is greyed out, because it says nothing about the experience gain rate for it being different.

Do you mind providing a screenshot of your info panel?
I ask because I believe this is dependant on your starting traits. Traits/Professions that provide an extra skill point will increase your exp gain for those traits. Not sure about the greyed out sprinting though.

It highlights your skill bonuses.
A slightly whiter (or slightly darker, can't remember) skill has +75% (i.e., level 1 at character creation). A +125% skill seems to be yellow (i.e., level 2).

Thanks. So, your traits are giving you exp bonuses, white is +100% and yellow is +125%. It should say in the tooltip when you hover over one of the skills, such as lightfooted. I don't think the sprinting is greyed out, it just looks that way when next to the brighter yellow. Meaning that you're not getting any exp boosts based on your traits.

Basically what LSD has said. Except +75% is level 1, +100% level 2, +125% is level 3.

It is displayed when you hover over a cell, that you haven't yet unlocked.

Huh, I see. I think it says something about affected stats with the professions in character creation. I might have to look at those and see what each profession does.

So, are there any other colour codes to know about or is that all of them?
