Sinfar Palette Reference
</div>

This page provides complete colour charts for all 256 palette indices across Sinfar's three main colour channels: '''Cloth''', '''Leather''', and '''Metal'''. These charts are useful for customizing armour, clothing, and equipment appearance, as well as for texture mapping and visual effects design.

Each chart displays all 256 indices (0–255) arranged in a 16×16 grid. The swatches are rendered from the actual palette data used in-game.

Using the Charts
</div>

<div style="
margin-top: 14px;
padding: 20px 24px;
background:#181214;
border:1px solid #6f5730;
line-height:1.75;
">

These charts are useful for:

* '''Customizing item appearance''' — use the index numbers to choose colours for armour dyes and equipment
* '''Builder reference''' — when designing custom items or writing scripts that set item colours
* '''Visual effects design''' — matching colour schemes across different equipment types
* '''XDATA and texture mapping''' — understanding the base palette before applying texture remaps

To use a colour, identify its index number in the grid (reading left-to-right, top-to-bottom, starting at 0 in the top-left corner). Index values can be set via item properties in the toolset, or through NWScript functions like <code>SetObjectColorAndFade()</code>.

Cloth and Leather palettes share identical colour values for indices 0–175. Indices 176–255 differ between the two channels to provide variety in extended colours. The Metal palette is entirely independent. All three palettes are custom to Sinfar and differ from vanilla NWN palettes. These charts render the actual palette data and reflect in-game appearance.
