Recolors: Hair & Rocks

I am a large fan of the Colorize tool in GIMP. In most maps I create, colors have been adjusted for many things to either fit the setting better or to change contrast between foreground and background items, or just adding variety.

Below are some of my presets that I find useful to have available. For the rock recolors, I tend to use them as is to be consistent across maps. But for hair, using these bases then making small adjustments to Saturation and Lightness can give a wide range of variety for characters and NPCs.

Hair – Light Brown
Hue: 0.0776
Saturation: 0.3400
Lightness: -0.200

Rock Recolors always start with the original grey cliff tiles. The Underwater recolor can be applied to anything that will sit below the surface of the water. I use this one with a semi-transparent water layer over it.
