I don't know why he would make it work like that but he did
it's dumb imo

What an ignorant thing to say. It's a good thing your opinion doesn't have any influence in this game's development.

A limit of 64 colors is a network optimization. There could be up to 256,000 bricks on a server and telling the client that each of those bricks is a color between 0-63 uses a lot less bandwidth than telling the client each brick is "240 32 48 255" (that's a difference of 0-63 compared to 0-4294967295 or thereabouts, for 256,000 bricks - don't quote me on the math but it's a lot).

uh yeah
ignorant because "I don't know why he would make it work like that" among all the other things that I don't know

anyway...
is there any particular reason that it's such a small number? instead of something like 128, for example?

It's ignorant to call a decision dumb just because you don't understand the logic behind it, yeah.

I think 64 was just seen as a decent number of colors - things start to get a bit crazy when you have 128, particularly the UI.

The only complaint I have with the color limit is that it isn't a factor of 9, so people who like to use the max number of colors have uneven rows.  Uneven rows make me mad :(
