This tutorial will show you how to add a new faction color to your game (or remove a color you don't want) using the Rainbow mod.

This tutorial assumes that you have installed the BepInEx system that is required by the Rainbow mod.

If you do not yet have the BepInEx system, please read THIS TUTORIAL (Windows) or THIS TUTORIAL (Mac) that shows how to get .dll mods into your game before beginning this tutorial.

1. Download the Rainbow mod and unzip it. Drag the .dll onto the Humankind Mod Tool to install it.
2. Run the game. This step will generate a folder in the Documents/Humankind folder.
3. Close the game and open the Documents/Humankind/Faction Colors folder.
4. Open the .js file using a text editor like Notepad.
5. The opened file will show a list of color hex numbers. It includes all the ones in the Rainbow mod + all the original Amplitude colors.
6. You can remove any colors from the list that you don't want.
7. Before adding one to the list, make sure there is a comma following the one that is directly above it. Only the last one on the list should be without a comma
8. Add your desired color hex between quotations so that your number is presented in the exact fashion as the others on the list. Make sure your new color hex is directly below the color hex above it. Make sure that all the color hex lines are above the closing bracket. That bracket looks like this: ] Be sure that you don't put any hex numbers above the opening bracket at the top of the list. That bracket looks like this: [
9. After adding the new hexes, click file in the upper menu bar and save your changes.

Notes:
1. The order you include the hexes in, is the order in which they will appear in the game.
2. You can find a large number of colors with their hex numbers HERE. Alternatively, you can Google "color hex palette" to get links to other sites with colors by hex number.
3. Please note, the last color in your list will be used for the minor factions color.
4. If you installed the mod when it placed the Humankind/Faction Colors folder in your BepInEx folder, you do not have to move the folder. Installing the updated mod will move your Faction Colors folder to the appropriate location while retaining your modified config file.
