Designer Kit Question

[BuncoQueen]

In the Getting Started section, under the image editor program requirements, you mentioned that it needs the ability to type in a "RGB value for a color". What's RGB?

I'll probably just download and use the program you recommend, but I was curios what this meant. Thanks.

And thanks for providing this great kit! I glanced through it last night, and am looking forward to trying it out today!!!

Ah, good question. "RGB" stands for Red Green Blue. A computer needs these three components in order to specify a color. Here's a great wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rgb) that specifies it in more detail (probably a lot more detail than you wanted).

Basically, though, you won't need to worry about RGB values. I probably should have removed this requirement before I published. Just use the color picker tool instead, which in the GIMP program looks like an eye dropper, and allows you to pick a color from an image. When you get further down in the instructions, you'll see that this is what we recommend you use.

All the colors you need are in the two palette images contained in the kit, and these are the official clothing colors we want you to use anyway. Players will recognize the official colors, whereas if you use some other color, players won't know how to match it.

Oh, ok! Thanks for the answer. You're right - that wikipedia article was WAY more than I wanted to know. haha :p
