I've got a custom Entity and I tried using a 5:0:1 color for it so its overworld/worldgen locations would show up purplish, but they still spawn as Grey ingame.

Curious if there's another setting I'm missing or if this is it.

Those settings change their colors ingame, i.e. your CREATURE will show up as coloured, not their sites. AFAIK you can't change site colours.

So then what does a custom entity base their color on?

From the wiki:

"FRIENDLY_COLOR    see color   
The color of this entity's civilization settlements in the world gen and embark screens. Defaults to 7:0:1. [FRIENDLY_COLOR:1:0:1]"

It sounds like this determines site colors.

The site itself, most likely.

How moddable are sites at the moment?

The only thing I have ever seen FRIENDLY_COLOR do is change the color of the merchants arrival message on fort mode.  So, the elves arrival announcement is in green, dwarves in blue, humans in grey.

That's weird, wonder if that's an incorrect wiki note then.

That's also super upsetting then because it seems like there's no way to change site colors.
