This section holds and defines the colors used to tint buildings, such as when they are designated for an Airstrike. In order to prevent slowdown in the low level blitting routines, this functionality was implemented by doing a composite bitwise logical OR. This means that the color value is not being shifted, instead the value of color specified below is being added. If part of the object being tinted already has as much value of the color specified, then no change will be seen. At the level that the blitters operate, colors are 16 bit numbers using the 5,6,5 RGB scheme. This means that values of red range from 0 to 31, values of green from 0 to 63, and values of blue from 0 to 31. Those values are then converted from binary to decimal and listed here. StrongRed is the colour used when designating airstrikes, and HighBlue is used by the Force Shield.
