I've started experimenting with creating my own skin graphics as the next step on from re-colouring and panel editing. I was originally unsure how to ensure the titlebar displayed the right colour for clubs/competitions, since I suspected they had to be a particular shade of orange, but a little trial and error showed me that it coloured automatically, regardless of the colour of my titlebar graphics (phew).

However, I've noticed that I get slight colour variations in game depending on the colour I've used to create my original shapes - nothing major, but enough to make me wonder if there's a "right" way to do it. So I was wondering, what colour values do those of you making good skins start from for titlebar shapes, and is there a base colour that gives the most "pure" colours in game?

Thanks,
Cato

You should load up the titlebar graphics from the metallic skin and take the red colour from that and use it

Thanks for the reply. I'd had a look at the Metallic skin as a starting point, but the titlebar graphics in there have a colour gradient, making it impossible to determine what the base was (so I could apply my own gradients to that). In any case, I've got something close enough from that, so I won't worry about it any further.

Thanks again,
Cato

The exact colour before the gradient is applied is 186, 46, 0
