Time to move this to the genetics section
Ok, even if you dont undertsand they whys and hows at least print this out, or write it down for when you are looking for trends in your meeroo.
SL colors, if any of you texture a prim, have 3 values Red Blue and Green, these are the three basic light colors. All other colors are made from them. So, in the game, they threw in a forth, lets call it E, for eclipse.
so these can be combined in several ways and just so happen to appear in the game as eye colors.
R - flare
G - monsoon
B - capri
lets just see what combos we get from them
RG - irish
RB - orchid
BG - cobalt
So lets throw the E into all of these
RE - carnation
GE - glacier
BE - capri
RGE - lunar
RBE - umbra
BGE - cirrus
12...we need four more ..this is where it gets fun.
We have E which is sort of colorless, that makes 13
and we can combine that first set of combos above for three more
RG-RB
RG-BG
RB-BG
so...guess what...these are ALSO eclipse.
There are our 13 colors.
So even we only see eclipse as one color, it is actually four. It sort of like we see a white flower, but bees can see all sorts off different whites (infrared)
Now when looking at your breedings and eyes and new traits popping up....dont just look at the colors you see, but also these letters that make them up. What are you going to see?
A hell of a lot of E.
I want to try to keep this simple and let you understand. SO let me stop there and see if people understand this, and see how it fits with their breeding.
