This section contains the various colors available to be used when applying the 'remap' logic and usually refer to the colors that objects in the game can be remapped to. Most objects in the game contain an area or areas of color which are drawn in specific palette entries from the UNITSNO, UNITEM and UNITURB palettes. In Red Alert 2, like Tiberian Sun, these palette entries are represented by various shades of red. The colors listed here form an internal table of colors from which the game can remap those shades of red. Each house (country) must be assigned a default Color= from this list. In multiplayer map files, the color of each house already present on the map can be specified which will over-ride the default setting for that house. The three values from each entry here represent the hue, saturation and value of each color. The value component specifies the maximum brightness allowed for the color as the color spread is generated. The hue component remains constant. The saturation curves through color space as the value component changes such that darker colors become more saturated.
Note that this list forms an internal table to which the game refers when any color is required for the games houses (including display of text). The table is numbered in the order in which these colors appear and starts at '0'. When the game needs a particular color, it refers to a number from this table by matching the name, so to edit or change any colors you should change the values held here under that color's name, not the name itself.
It is also worth remembering that entries 1,5,6,7,8,10,12 and 14 are used for the default colors of the multiplayer houses so you can change these values to allow players to use different colors, although it is not recommended that you use Black for a multiplayer house - doing so means the player will not see a lot of in game text which is printed on a Black background! It is unwise to edit numbers 17 and 18 (Allied Load and Soviet Load) as these colors are always used for the text on loading screens. The game can handle a maximum of 50 colors in this table.

Purely for information, the UNITSNO and UNITTEM palettes in Red Alert 2 are almost identical to the Tiberian Sun ones, so here are some more colors from Tiberian Sun should you wish to modify the default colors, as they work equally well in Red Alert 2.
