02 06 ## 00 00 sm 80 pp ii

02 - gene type: creature
06 - gene subtype: pigment
## - gene subtype number
00 - unknown
00 - switch on: embryo
sm - sex-dependence/mutability
80 - mutation rate (C2 ONLY)
pp - pigment
ii - intensity

Notes

sm - sex dependence/mutability

No sex dependence, and all three types of mutability (mutable, duplicable, deletable). See the Header page for a complete discussion of this byte.

pp - pigment

• 00 - red
• 01 - green
• 02 - blue

ii - intensity

As Sandra J. Linkletter deduced, this must represent the intensity of the color, using RGB light (thus 00 = black and FF = white). Apparently these values are added to a base raw umber color.

general observations

Despite the names of the first three genes, currently all colors are present at birth, according to information Cyberlife gave Sandra.

Example(s)

02 06 05 00 00 07 00 11
This gene sets one of the C1 red pigments to intensity 11 (decimal 17).

02 06 0D 00 00 07 80 02 FF
This gene sets one of the C2 blue pigments to intensity FF (decimal 255).
