Hex Codes
Wajas are able to have a variety of features in any color of the rainbow. When making customs, you enter colors for the markings, mutations, base color, and eye color of your waja through hex codes. When dyeing Wajas, you enter the color of the dye marking with a hex code.
Additionally, when breeding wajas the colors of features on the offspring are determined by mixing the hex codes of the equivalent features on the parents. As a result, understanding hex codes and color mixing can greatly improve the results of your breedings.
What are Hex Codes?
For an in-depth explanation of Hex Codes, see: Hex Codes Explanation
Hex Codes are codes in the format of a pound sign(#) followed by six characters ranging from 0-9 and A-F. In Wajas, hex codes are used to define the colors of Wajas' markings, mutations, base color, and eye color.
Basic Hexes
- White = #FFFFFF
- Black = #000000
- Red = #FF0000
- Yellow = #FFFF00
- Green = #00FF00
- Blue = #0000FF
- Magenta = #FF00FF
- Turquoise = #0FF0F0
It is important to note that how colors mix on a computer (using light) is not always exactly the same as how they would mix with paints (using pigments). For example, breeding yellow and blue will not get you green as you might expect, but rather a murky gray color.
Color Mixer
The color mixer is a tool that can be used to determine the range of colors that are possible between two given hex codes. This is accessed under the help tab. When using this, you will take the hex codes for a particular feature in each parent (such as the base color, or the color of a shared marking) and put them in the two input fields. Once you have the appropriate hex codes entered, press the "Generate Sample Spectrum" button to get a range of possible colors that fall between the parent's colors.
