Summoner Custom Colors
What I would like to know (and I think the answer is "no", which would be followed by the request to add this... but I am not delusional enough to think the ASE version would get another update), is if it's possible to set a custom color with a summoner somehow. I want players on my server to be able to tribute summon for specially colored dinos. For example, a fertilized snow owl egg with 100 white paint would summon a pure white snow owl to tame. But I can't set the colors.

A workaround I had in mind was to have them spawn the creature they want for the required tribute and to then spawn a custom-colored dino with a normal spawner to replace it with after they tamed whatever they wanted. Buuuuuut.... this A. requires me as admin to always be there for the process (even after setting up the tributes), B. the normal summoner cannot spawn a tamed creature and C. we'd end up with 2 creatures. Ok one we can just destroy/kill. But it's a thing.

Right now the only two things I can seemingly do is either recolor the dino after the tame using commands, or check if the player put the correct tribute into the summoner, delete those items and then use the normal spawner to summon a custom dino. Making the summoner itself a glorified storage box :)
