Well, I swear I did, but totally forgot about the handy feature that doesn’t require a single mod.

You can use any 6-digit hex value, so check out the color code calculator on W3 Docs<\/a> to find more, or reference the table I used from Unity<\/a>. It’s a fairly straightforward process, but I’ll leave you with a few extra color-changing tips: <\/p>\n
