Alternate Title Colors

Description
Crusader Kings 3 has over all good color palette regarding title colors. However, some titles are outliers in that regard. I personally find them odd and unfitting. This mod started as a simple color change for two particular titles: Norway and Egypt. After correcting them I've decided that I might as well adjust some other title colors to fit my tastest better.

NOT ACHIEVEMENT COMPATIBLE.

What does this mod change?
  • Slight hue shift - The overall hue of the map is shifted by about +6 degrees. The post processes that are applied seem to slightly shift hue value. This slight correction results in color closer to intended map color.
  • EU4 style Egypt color - I've always disliked the greenish color used for Egypt in CK2 and CK3. While there is a mod for a yellow Egypt already it was too yellow for my taste. I've also changed colors of every de jure duchy and county under Egypt.
  • CK2 style Norway - Vanilla purple for Norway looks a bit peculiar in the Scandinavia region. I really liked the color that was used in CK2 so I've chosen a color that looks somewhat similar. I've also changed two duchies that had similar color to their de jure title and counties under them.
  • Light pink Denmark - I simply prefer this desaturated pink to vanilla. I also desaturated duchy of Skane.
  • Orange Finland - I think orange Finland fits better in the region colorwise. I also changed colors of duchies of Finland and Karelia, Most counties were fine so I changed like 2-3 of them.
  • New color for France - I simply prefer this shade of blue for medieval France.
  • New color for Aquitaine - Vanilla color was way too saturated and looked unplaesant. The new color matches well with new color for France,
  • Slight adjustement to Lotharingia - I had to shift hue slightly towards blue so it looks more distinct when next to new Aquitaine.
  • Desaturated Sapmi - The vanilla color was too saturated for my taste.
  • CK2 style Cumania - While I don't dislike vanilla CK3 Cumania, I think that it is simply too big to use that color. The huge brown swath of land makes the map look darker and drab. While CK2 color is very similar to vanilla Khazaria it shouldn't be a problem.
  • Red Roman Empire - The Roman Empire has a color that is deserves.
  • Color adjustments for certain empires Frankia, Hispania, West Slavia..
  • Old color for Baltic Empire - The Baltic Empire has now it's old color. The new color is actually pretty good, but having it next to my chosen color for West Slavia hurt readability.
  • Green Empire of Italia.
  • White Kingdom of Romagna.
  • Slightly desaturated Byzantine Empire, Carpathia and Khazaria.
  • Slight adjustements to color of Cyprus, Israel and Bosnia.
  • Slight adjustements to color of Poland.
  • Theorethicaly empire of Russia should have different color however currently it is unchanged. If it is different from vanilla in your game please let me know.

If you want to see any part of this mod as a separate mod just tell me.

I highly recommend using Blue Persia by elvain along with this mod.

It would appear so. It seems that the overriding works differently than I thought. Simple fix would be just adding HRE to Alternate Color's landed_titles file.
If you don't know how to do that add me and I'll tell you what to do.

@biodtox Golden HRE seems to be mutually exclusive with this mod

Golden HRE is a bit controversial so I released it as a separate mod

Mods seems to work fine so no update needed.

Mod may be temporarily broken due to PDX changing the color of Asturias but I can't check till Saturday/Sunday.

You can take a look at the mod files to see how it looks. You'll need to find the folder where steam decided to put it in though.

@Juan The text file in \common\landed_titles has title colors. Modify the colors value with RGB value (don't touch color2). You need to copy the whole 'tree" (so if you want to change let's say France then you also need to copy Frankia to which France belongs). Delete any unmodified values (so if you don't want to change the capital delete the code declaring the capital). This helps with compatibility (the mod won't overwrite another mod with vanilla values)

How would you make a mod like this? I'm planning on making my own.
