Label color tint vs encoded color
« on: May 14, 2015, 11:26:14 PM »
I've noticed that the color tint for a label is accurate.  For example, grey, (128,128,128).  However, if I encode a label with [808080] the color is a noticeable lighter grey.  This is using TTF fonts.

I have a chat window, and when I add the chat in the chat text list, i encode it to the color of the channel it was sent on.  In addition, I color the input to the channel you are typing in.  They do not match, because the color of the encoded text in the text list is lighter (I tested this on a label at the root with a fully white color tint, with nothing obscuring it, just to make sure).

Why is this the case?

Thanks!

Colors are multiplied by the label's tint, unless you also include the [c] tag to clear it.
