Colors

The main, and possibly only, notable thing abotu Acedia's colors is it's support for parsing their text representation. To be precise, Acedia understands:

1. Hex color definitions in format of #ffc0cb;
2. RGB color definitions that look like either rgb(255,192,203) or rgb(r=255,g=192,b=203);
3. RGBA color definitions that look like either rgb(255,192,203,13) or rgb(r=255,g=192,b=203,a=13);
4. Alias color definitions that Acedia looks up from color-specific alias source and look like any other alias reference: $pink.

You should be able to use any form you like while working with Acedia.

[Technical] Color fixing

Killing floor's standard methods of rendering colored strings make use of inserting 4-byte sequence into them: first bytes denotes the start of the sequence, 3 following bytes denote rgb color components. Unfortunately these methods also have issues with rendering strings if you specify certain values (0 and 10) as red-green-blue color components.

You can freely use colors with these components, since Acedia automatically should fix them for you (by replacing them with indistinguishably close, but valid color) whenever it matters.
