look in the smaug folder, then look in the system folder, it has a thing called COLORS.DAT and there you go and since everything is in numbers here's all the color codes.

0 - black >> 8 - gray
1 - red >> 9 - brighter red
2 - green * >> 10 - bright green
3 - brown >> 11 - yellow
4 - blue >> 12 - nicer blue
5 - purple >> 13 - pink
6 - blue/gray >> 14 - light blue
7 - green * >> makes 15 - white

if you didn't notice, when you add 8 to a number it makes it a lighter version of that color except for 7, that's something weird. Also if you add 16 to a number it will make it blink

an example of what? I told you to open the colors.dat in like notepad and just change the colors how you see fit. I gave you what each number is

if you put 0 it's black you add 8 0+8=8 which is a grey color. if you put 16, 0+16= 16 then the black color will blink but if you put 8+16= 24 and put 24 the grey will blink
