Color Picker (Infinite colors in Blockland)

I assume the current coloring sends 6 bits, giving it the 0-63 indices and the cap of 64 colors that it currently has (the RGBA values for each index are sent once during the loading). I might not be correct, but it's probably something close. If you were going to send RGBA values on the fly, rather than 64 at the beginning, you'd need to be sending 32 bits rather than just 6 every time; 8 to get the 0-255 values for each of the four colors.

A good point already mentioned in the other two topics made about this.

A um, not so good point. Colorsets aren't difficult to make and I'm sure someone who made a colorset wouldn't care if no one downloads them anymore.

If this was done, we'd seriously need something like an eyedropper tool to match colors already used.
Deathwishez:
256 colors
100% opaque
50% opaque
25% opaque
768 total colors
or
128 colors

384
OR...
RGB = 3
YCM = 3
B&W = 2
^ = 8
8*4(Shades) = 32
32*2(Trans) = 64
So, four shades of red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, and magenta, then 8 grayscale colors.
This totals to 64, the current colorset limit.

Orange, brown?
Chrono:
I don't think you would need 8 shades of grayscale anyways.
B&W = 2
2*4(Shades) = 8
Realize what you did there?
