This is a work in progress.
Welcome to Paint By Numbers, a guide to finding your personal paint reactions. It aims to be a simple and step-by-step, providing you with just enough information to do what you need to do.
In boxes like this, I'll go more into the technical side of paint and the theory behind the method I present. None of this information will be required to follow the guide, so if you're not interested, you can safely skip the rest of these.
How Does Paint Work?
To make paint, you add a number of ingredients to a Pigment Laboratory, and the colors mix to give you your paint. Sounds simple, right? Well here's the catch: many of the ingredients react with each other, and the strength of these reactions depends on the person mixing the paint. That's why if you've tried a recipe you found on someone's user page, it probably didn't work. And that's why if you want to get your optimum recipes, you'll need to do some work yourself.
This information is available in several places already, so I'll just summarize... the base color of your paint is a weighted average of the RGB values of the ingredients you added. The final color is that base RGB value summed with all the various reactions. Which ingredients react is the same for all avatars, as is what colors are affected. Some reactions only change the Green value of the paint, some only the Blue, some only the Red, and some change all three. No reaction changes only two values. For those that change all three (termed "white reactions"), all three are changed by the same constant value. Reaction values range from -64 to +64. The order in which ingredients are added *does* matter. Although they will affect the same color(s) either way, the actual reaction value for Ingredient A followed by Ingredient B will be different from Ingredient B followed by Ingredient A.
Preparation
Here's what you'll need to get started:
In-game:
- A handful (5 should be plenty) of all the paint ingredients:
