Players who are not satisfied with the default color scheme can alter things to suit their aesthetic tastes. The 16 colors are not fixed, except by their definitions in init.txt. If you wanted to change YELLOW to something slightly brighter or darker, or more orange, or into deep purple, you can by changing the values listed under the label "YELLOW". Note that the color names are ''case sensitive'' - the color is "YELLOW", not "yellow". | Players who are not satisfied with the default color scheme can alter things to suit their aesthetic tastes.
