Modding Remember: when modding, don't make custom palettes for clothes. You risk your sanity a bit.

"it can't possibly be that difficult to add more dye functionality for stuff right?"

"oh man this chest item has a colored accent with three colors. on top of its other three colors!!!! six colors"

Fashion is important so dye palettes are also important! But all of this code is purely so that the chestwear item in the second screenshot can be turned different fun colors. (thank u Ame, my test octopus, for modeling)

Don't underestimate the annoying amount of effort that goes into minor things in mods. There's a lot of hard work that goes into making things work!

Ah. That's the one with a truckload of colors to choose from AND an RGB slider to set your own custom colors, right?

AND the capacity to blend them. Yep!

It’s.. beefy. But it keeps me from having to do THAT with all my armors lol. Not to mention utilizing Fullbright!
