HUD colours¶

The colour table CL scripts use in text (<COLOR rrggbbaa>) and the HUD slots CfgHUDColor assigns from it.

What is complete

Every key of CL is listed.

14 entries. Data: research/references/hud-colours.yaml.

Entries¶

Key	RGBA	HUD slot	Note
`wht`	`B2B2B2FF`
`but`	`FFFFFFFF`	1
`cash`	`49B749FF`	2
`warr`	`861A1AFF`	3
`txt`	`806400FF`	4
`gry`	`505050FF`	5
`bon`	`6A4183FF`	6
`blu`	`2353BCFF`	7
`orng`	`2353BCFF`	8	The scripts give it the same value as `blu`, so the HUD's slot 8 is blue, not orange
`bigmoney`		9	The scripts write it with a `0x` prefix; how the text code reads that is not traced, so no colour is shown
`hudWhite`	`B2B2B2FF`
`selected`
`enabled`	`505050FF`
`disabled`	`505050FF`
