An actual duck has Crea

Is there an easy way to tell what colors I'm using?

Trying to set the glow/particle colors on some ores and just wondering what's the easiest way to get the numbers set appropriately without having to guess and then boot a game to find out if it looks right?

Crea uses a RGB and RGBA system so there's a ton of color picking utilities online. A simple one is just colorpicker.com then just choose the color and enter it in with the red, green, and blue.

The colors are created like this Color(redValue, blueValue, greenValue, optionalAlphaValue).

The numbers can be anything between 0 and 255 with 0 being none of that color and 255 being it's brightest. Computers nearly always use additive color (meaning it behaves like light and combining colors makes white) as opposed to subtractive color (combining colors leads to black or brown, this how real life paints behave) so 255, 255, 255 is pure white. Alpha is how transparent the color is and is only valid in cases when transparency is desired, ignore it and don't set it for a completely opaque color. With alpha 0 is completely invisible and 255 is completely opaque.

If you have any more questions just ask!
