📋 About This Mod
While NMS is a colorful game, it seems it lacks one color and not a little one : black.
It was often noted as missing in space, but it is also missing in the paint tints, vaguely replaced by a dark purple.
So this mod brings back a true black paint choice.
In details :
- it replaces false vanilla black paint by a true black for player, exocrafts and freighter
- it makes vanilla "light grey" and "dark grey" paint darker to make it more distinct to standard grey
- it replaces 2 of the 64 vanilla ship possible tints by pure black (for both 8th and 56th colors)
- it restores usual shades of grey for ship creator palette and add True Black to it, thanks to FriendlyFirePL
Now it's up to you to find the better color schemes and take the best screenshots :)
