...I think it's mostly random. Or at least semi-random. Some colours crash the game for some people, but not for everybody. Some colours seem to occasionally crash the game for some people.Yeah, some of the colors over 78 or 79 are unstable and cause crashing.
I'm just going to guess here, but it looks like there's a risk, if not a very big one, with anything that isn't actually on the in-game list of colours to choose from. (Which sucks.) It also seems it's more likely to crash if applied to the PC - several NPCs use non-standard colours, but I've never heard of anyone having problems with those.
[edit] I think it's more likely to get proper answers here.

"Tyranny is a quiet thing at first, a prim and proper lady pursing her lips and shaking her head disapprovingly, asking, well what were you doing (wearing that dress, walking home at that hour, expressing those inappropriate thoughts) anyway? It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard

Yes, I know all this info is in the IESDP, but here it's presented to show which colors are working and where.

The creature I summoned was b!met00.cre.
Never mind. I begin to suspect that Edwin has his own animation. I'm going to try again with a new CRE.

What happens if you use a dye on those parts on that .cre?

I'm trying it again using a cloned Rayic Gaetheras as the source creature, because I'm 94.2% sure that it uses just a basic mage animation, maybe with a nice robe.
It might be interesting to note that summoning b!coltest.cre in the example above crashed the game, but summoning b!met05.cre did not, which has the same color assignments as b!coltest.cre.

On the mage animation in that robe, changing the metal color seems to have no effect on the sprite. I checked all 116 colors.

So, for a human male mage wearing the robe of the archmagi, no colors produced CTD.
I'm also including a screenshot of the assembled creatures with 116 different face colors.
Base creature: JUGJER01 (Jermien)
Animation: MAGE MALE HUMAN
Robe: CLCK17 (robe of evil archmagi - yeah, I knew he's LN, but I knew the robe was colorful)
After this series, I'll try a different base creature, possibly a male human fighter (without armor)

WRITE_BYTE 0x30 05 //leather color (light silver)
WRITE_BYTE 0x31 05 //armor color (light silver)
I have purple and gold as what's listed as "Armor colour (and major triming on robe - cross trim and cape trim on robe of archmagi)" and "Belt Buckle (on armor) or amulets (on robes)" in DLTCEP on the bottom. (I think "metal" would be the second one of those?) And on top, I'm obviously able to change everything on that avatar - changing the "leather" colour definitely has an effect on the mage avatar. And it should definitely be the correct "leather" location, as well. I've checked it like a million times.
...I should think more about this, but it's late and I really want some sleep.

Never mind. I see you've got screen shots there. Now I wonder if there's a difference between setting it as a spell and setting it as part of the tp2. Checking the game CREs with DLTCEP shows the colors assigned properly.
I'm looking at this as somebody who wants to change the colors on the sprites, not necessarily the paperdolls. For a non-joinable spellcaster, I don't really care what the paperdoll looks like. I'm just interested in having a different-looking sprite and not crashing the game when it spawns.
Made another little experiment. I used an unarmored male human fighter animation, but forgot to take the mage robe off. None of the colors crashed the game in any location.
Here's a group picture screenshot, with fluorescent green in the following locations (left to right): metal, minor color, skin, major color, hair, leather, armor. The dead guy has fluorescent green in his metal location.
I'm also attaching the tp2 I used for that last lot.

Yeah, I noticed there is at least one element you can't change with the known colour assignments, maybe two. FWIW, there is at least one "unknown" at 0x2a, maybe another at 0x2b. But I assume the people who did the IESDP etc. did pretty rigorous testing to figure they were unknown, but you never know.In any case, the apron on the robe remains red, and the trim details remain gold, despite the fact that all colors are changed to light silver.
But I thought you used different assignments (black vs. light silver or whatever) and different elements.It might be interesting to note that summoning b!coltest.cre in the example above crashed the game, but summoning b!met05.cre did not, which has the same color assignments as b!coltest.cre.

Oh. Well that explains it, doesn't it? The robe overrides whatever colours you're assigning to the CRE while its alive since it has "while equipped" effects of "pure dark red" for the minor trim, "light minty blue" for the belt buckle (may or may not be noticeable) and "dark pure gold" for the major trim.Robe: CLCK17 (robe of evil archmagi - yeah, I knew he's LN, but I knew the robe was colorful)
[P.S. Maybe a moderator wants to move the recent posts from the Rupert topic as they're more related to this one.]

Interestin'... I wouldn't think it'd be able to do this. Does this persist after you remove and re-equip the item? (I'm wondering if it is this that causes erratic crashes, and not any particular known colours.)the dye overrides the "while equipped" effects.
So are you just changing colours on one particular location and so far most of them work?And have another group photo.

If you're curious, this shot has fighter color locations, from left to right: metal, major, skin, minor, leather, hair, armor.

Probably. I was testing on a bare-bones install just to rule out contribution from any other mod.Interestin'... I wouldn't think it'd be able to do this. Does this persist after you remove and re-equip the item? (I'm wondering if it is this that causes erratic crashes, and not any particular known colours.)the dye overrides the "while equipped" effects.
First I created a creature that had a stable color for all locations, 05 light silver. Then I copied it 812 times to different creatures with 812 different names, so that if it crashed, I'd know which color and which location was responsible. Then I spawned each of the 813 creatures (812 "color" creatures plus the base creature) individually with the CLUAConsole with the game unpaused, waiting to see what crashed. That's how I wound up with the formation pictures.So are you just changing colours on one particular location and so far most of them work?And have another group photo.
