Hi, new CTA user here.  I'm interested in changing colors on my G2 characters.  Could someone who has this swatch maker please upload it somewhere so that I may download it?  It's no longer at the original link (http://www.filedropper.com/swatchmaker ).  I would appreciate it very much.  :-)

Thanks,
Quinn

i don't have it. Think i had to delete it cause these forums let you only store x amount of data, so maybe got deleted to make room for other stuff i post . I don't think i kept a copy of that or myself, maybe someone else who has it can re-post hahaha

I love your tools, however I cannot find where to download. The link is now dead. Can you re-up?

Thank you again for another great tool!

Custom color 1-8 have a different and separate  RGB base and used for different things according to the Index chart {background,floor or ceiling,or character Acc.}

Yes, that table describes the use of the RS color groups by RL as relating to characters.
When you create a shape with a color and assign it to an RS color group that color should not change, but it does. Why?
If they are changing the color based on the group assignment then that should have been explained but is not as far as I could find.
I would have expected the color of my shape to be retained when assigned to a RS color group, not modified by some unknown scheme.
There is also the little known fact that there are restrictions on which body parts can use which color groups.

All colors are affected as it was designed for RS color groups.

thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

Yes, certain colors are not affected (like White, Black, and Gray and a few others).
The point was that most colors are affected and not to expect the color to remain the same after assigning it to an RS color group.

You get the exact color if your base color is white or a neutral shade of grey. Only on some cases I had issues where the color jumps a few degrees.

Not for me it hasn't.
Any RS 01 and 02 group is usually very close but others can be farther off.
See the example below:


As you can see the color gets worse the higher the group number.
Some colors have even worse changes.
As I said, If you want the exact color it doesn't work well but if close is good enough then it could work.
