Okay This Topic May sound a dumb and nonsense "help topic". So I ask for help like any tips for me to make, cuz i got no experience of making color pals for characters when it comes to anything in general. So i wanted to know how it works.

And I wanted to make color pals (Like how Mid117, MT7 etc.. srsly i feel like i'm glazing them, which is a bad habit of mine *sigh*) so that I wanted to stop requestin from those guys, cuz man i feel like "man i wanted to do it, but idk how and maybe i might mess it up" and i feel like I'm annoying them tbh and i really wanted to do something.

So i wanted to make this "help topic" just to know and learn the basics of making color palettes like any tutorial for me to understand it, cuz whenever I see "Character Reference Color Pals" i was like Aye that fits the aesthetic of the character like How OHMSBY Stye Char has that type and others too.

PS i have ff3 but idk how to use it well from making color pals
Real reason I'm Called "Dude" Cuz I watched Regular Show WOOOOOOAHH

First of all, you need an image editor to change the color to palettes, FF3 only serves you to edit some colors (if that works) and to save it into ACT file. To make palettes, the first thing you've to do is to take a sprite (PCX, but also could works PNG) with the main palette of your character, which has to be in 256 colors, and then editing the palette the image editing program of your choice (since Photoshop to GIMP, personally I use Paint Shop Pro) and there change the colors. After that, you can save the image with another name and save the palette into ACT or in PAL file. If the former, then you can add this file to the DEF file and that's all, if it's the last, then you've to convert it into ACT to make it work.
