Minetest mod unified dyes (english)
The purpose of this mod originally was to supply a complete set of colors for Minetest mod authors to use for colorized nodes, or to reference in. recipes. Since the advent of the default dyes mod in minetest_game, this mod has become more of an extension of the default mod and a library for general color handling.
Unified Dyes expands the standard dye set from 15 colors to 32, 197, or 256 (see below).

The Palettes:
In these images, the "-50%" markings on the left next to some shades mean 50% saturation for all hues in that shade line. Note that the shades above "full" don't have (or need) this variation, since they're already lower-saturation by having been generated by brightening the full colors. For the greys, the percentages shown are of brightness relative to pure white. In these palettes, there are a few special cases: pink is aliased to light red, brown is aliased to medium orange, and the recipe for dark orange differs from the standard formula. I got the names for the more esoteric colors from this site: http://www.procato.com/rgb+index/
This is the official "extended" palette, showing 240 colors, arranged as 24 hues with 10 brightness/saturation combinations for each, plus 16 greys. For an example of how this palette is used, see Stained Glass mod. If you happen to examine the palette file, you'll notice several bright green pixels in one corner, so-colored to remind me (or you) that these are unused pixels that will be discarded by the engine. If you notice a warning about this palette not having exactly 256 pixels, ignore it.
This is the 197-color palette, which is actually supplied as a set of "cut up" palette images: each of the 24 hues above has its own file, with each file containing 8 shades of that hue, plus one more containing the 5 levels of greyscale. These palettes are used when you need the "colorfacedir" mode, especially when you need to define a whole bunch of alternate shapes from your base node. You define a single base node, as usual, then 25 copies of each of your alternate shapes, one suitably-named copy per hue (there's a helper function for this, by the way). Take a look at my Colored Wood mod for examples of how this is done (you can also see examples of the "extended" palette in that mod).
This is the "colorwallmounted" palette, which contains an abridged version of the above palette, since the engine only allows 32 color slots with that mode. This palette contains eight of the standard hues, three shades each (full, medium, dark), plus the standard 5-shades of greyscale, along with light blue, light green, and pink. Take a look at my Industrial Lights mod for an example of how this palette is used.
