New colors
« on: July 13, 2020, 12:20:34 pm »

Translucent creatures in current version has description as white. I think, they need color 'transparent'. Also, what color has a mirror? Will be useful for some materials. About color that is darker than black - it has name 'fuligin' and may be color of slade.

+1 for 'transparent'.

Fuligin doesn't exist IRL, really, so mundane things shouldn't be it, but it is an interesting concept for the fantastical and magic. Well, I suppose slade is fantastical so it might fit.

The color of mirrors could be called 'reflective', though this could get more complicated. I mean, most reflective surfaces are still tinted one way or another, see most metals and water. Perhaps reflectiveness should be a separate property from color once mirrors make it in.

'Reflective' color might be too.
