So now black actually looks like black instead of blueish black? Give this man an award.

I like how you explained the reasoning behind the palette substitution rather than defaulting to saying "It just won't work".

Ok just wondering, because I know one million colours needed a separate plugin to make it work on sparks so I wasn't sure if that was the case here as well.
Beaker  [author] Apr 30, 2022 @ 1:57am 
When I was working on these color changes, I only found the three color palettes (hair, eyes, armor) so they could be tied together but I can't say for certain.
Hatsune Marineku Apr 28, 2022 @ 11:49pm 
Do these changes affect spark colors as well?
Beaker  [author] Apr 8, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
Unfortunately only one color mod can be active at a time for each type (armor, hair, and eyes).
Squeakers Apr 8, 2022 @ 8:01pm 
Would this work with the million colors armor mod?

If you still working on these mods, please consider a new one that add more Calmer and Natural Skin Colors. I think the game could use some real pale, golden and darker tones.

Very nice mod! I'm keeping the bright color options for the hair, but I really like the reduced saturation for the armor!
Ancalagon May 29, 2021 @ 6:30pm 
These colors are THE BEST! They have solved all my issues with default XCOM colors. If you are on the Workshop looking for additional color packs because the default ones are so ugly, look no further: this is the mod for you!

Some great Mod Troubleshooting advice
That recommends the excellent Alternate Mod Launcher [github.com] Everyone who uses mods should be using it
As well as AML's own wiki and FAQs, this guide gives some more detailed advice on using the Alternate Mod Launcher: Troubleshooting: Mods not working properly / at all
If you're using the Community Highlander then read its specific troubleshooting advice [github.com]

I’m very sure it’s not a mod incompatibility since if it was my game would’ve immediately crash to desktop.
[SFBOT] Sgt. K. Bassiclan Dec 2, 2020 @ 8:56pm 
That’s what I saw before, so I checked to see if it would work with original xcom and it worked perfectly, just not sure why it won’t show up in WOTC
Beaker  [author] Dec 2, 2020 @ 8:40pm 
It should work with both. You'll see the warning symbol showing its not compatible but you should still be able to enable it and it will work. I only play WOTC and have it enabled.
[SFBOT] Sgt. K. Bassiclan Dec 2, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
Yeah it works with only original xcom 2. It does not work for
WOTC
[SFBOT] Sgt. K. Bassiclan Nov 24, 2020 @ 5:47am 
I’ll try that thnx for the info :)
Beaker  [author] Nov 23, 2020 @ 9:06pm 
Hmm...I don't think that would matter, although I did increase the number of colors. It might not hurt to try disabling that one and see if it makes a difference. You may also want to try using the Xcom Alternative Mod Launcher to help find any possible mod issues. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to try.

I don’t have any addon that directly changes armor color at all, just one that picks one from the whole pool of colors
[SFBOT] Sgt. K. Bassiclan Nov 22, 2020 @ 6:36pm 
I do have an addon that randomizes soldier generation. The game randomly picks colors, camp types, and gear for each new recruit
Beaker  [author] Nov 22, 2020 @ 4:47pm 
I just hopped into the game and it seems to be working. Is it possible you have another mod enabled which changes armor color?
[SFBOT] Sgt. K. Bassiclan Nov 22, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Enabled the addon and everything and no new colors are showing up at all
OnlyDaz Jan 18, 2020 @ 5:41am 
@Beaker Thanks mate
Beaker  [author] Jan 17, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
Black in primary is 94 and secondary is 91. How it looks on armor could vary depending on the model.
OnlyDaz Jan 17, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
No black colour available?
Jestimac Oct 19, 2019 @ 2:34pm 
Hello
Congatulations. Three small mods that bring a very nice touch. The colors are far better than the standard ones. And the few additions in the blue/green/grey range are useful.
goDelimS Feb 2, 2019 @ 2:30am 
Awesome work! Now the soilders look less like powerrangers :)
Beaker  [author] Nov 9, 2018 @ 7:50pm 
I finally found some time to fix the problem. Let me know if you encounter any other issues.

@Beaker

No problem. I hope things work out all right.
Beaker  [author] Oct 23, 2018 @ 4:56pm 
@Scryehard

Thanks for doing that. I'll try to get it fixed in the mod by this weekend.
Dragon32 Oct 23, 2018 @ 2:22pm 
Wow. Thanks Scryehard, that's really appreciated. I'll try that out as soon as I'm able
Scryehard Oct 23, 2018 @ 1:29pm 
@♥♥♥♥ Justice

I went ahead and downloaded Modbuddy (yep, all 50gb), and edited the color palette manually. I have managed to fix the issue for my end.
Here is the upk file: http s://bit. ly/2OHFab5

What you do is, you go to the mod's Content folder (if you are using the Alternative Mod Launcher, simply right-click on the mod and select "Open in Explorer." If you aren't, then the path is steamapps\workshop\content\268500\868218230\Contentt)

In the Content folder, copy and replace the CalmerColorsArmor file with the one from my link. That SHOULD work, BUT if it doesn't, then delete the mod, redownload it, go into the game, find the black colors which aren't properly black, write down the NUMBER of the color in the game (each color you select has a corresponding number on the screen.) Then you upload your own CalmerColorsArmor file, send the link to me along with the numbers you wrote down, and I'll edit the file for you.

Any word on the black color issue? Plenty of people are having it.
PeaceMaker Oct 14, 2018 @ 2:28am 
Looks good will try. thanks.

The black colour problem is definitely a thing.

The black turns into navy blue when using it.
SIX Oct 11, 2018 @ 10:15pm 
The secondary "Black" is not black but dark blue. Why i dont now i dont even use your mod and its like that could you fix it with your mod plz ! The guy from more armor color did explain how to do it but u need the xcom editor.
Scryehard Oct 11, 2018 @ 9:58am 
@Beaker

Such was the case on every piece of armor.
Beaker  [author] Oct 10, 2018 @ 10:36pm 
Is it on a specific armor type or on anything? There are some items in the game that already have a tint to them and using black won't aways make it black. You can see that especially on shiny armor which I believe uses another color pallette to create an "aura" as part of it's reflection effect.
Scryehard Oct 10, 2018 @ 6:59pm 
Whenever I use this or More Armor Colors, the darkest black becomes a sort of dark blue, teal-ish color.
Snoup Sniddly Sep 29, 2018 @ 8:23am 
Oh my god, thank ♥♥♥♥ for this mod.
Weebos Aug 6, 2018 @ 5:52am 
Great lightweight mod.
Cpt. Rogers Jun 16, 2018 @ 1:24am 
What the guy bellow just said is something I'd love to see.
matthew86918 Jun 14, 2018 @ 9:32am 
can you combine this with the more armor colors mod i like both and its so hard to chose
Genghis Khanghis Oct 4, 2017 @ 6:04pm 
k thanks for replying
Beaker  [author] Oct 3, 2017 @ 9:21pm 
GK - The only way to make any changes is to replace the color pallette with a new one. If you're just looking for more color variety, there are other mods which would better fit that bill.
Genghis Khanghis Oct 2, 2017 @ 5:20pm 
can you make this a standalone mod instead of a replacer
siren_shadows Sep 15, 2017 @ 9:30am 
I love this mod, but I wish there were more options. I want both bright AND calm colors, such as when I use advent armor or soemthing. ANyone got any ideas?
swl2072 Sep 12, 2017 @ 3:35pm 
Thanks, love your color mods! Will enable.
Beaker  [author] Sep 2, 2017 @ 8:11pm 
Just did some testing and it looks like this mod is compatible with WotC. You can just ignore the yellow exclamation icon and enable it in your mods screen.
macelharen Aug 7, 2017 @ 5:58pm 
interesting mod. since i'm starting a new campaign i'll give it a whirl and let you know what it did to my character pool.
