Method 1
Step 1. Prepare the sprite.For this method, we need to change the image's color depth to
8bpp (256 colors). Most RMXP and RMVX resources are already 256 colors, but its best to do this step anyways. In the menu at the top of Graphics Gale, click
All Frames, and then
Color Depth... in the sub menu. Click the circle for
8bpp (256 colors), then press OK.
You should see a set of boxes like this to your right:
Step 2. Change the colors.Make sure you are using the
tool. Right click on whatever color you want changed, and then adjust the sliders to the right to change the color. Under the sliders there are 2 tabs,
RGB and
HSL. Most prefer HSL, but some others prefer RGB.
Step 3. Final Product.Once you have changed each color that you need to, you should have something like this:

Method 2
Step 1. Preparing the spriteJust like in the first method, go to
All Frames and click
Color Depth... in the sub menu. This time, click
24bpp (Full Color). This will not limit the amount of colors in use.
Step 2. Grabbing ColorsNow you need to change to the
tool. This is the
Color Replacer. Right click on the color you want to replace, it should pop up on the
first slide in the
Color Sliders. Now press the X beside the color sliders as labeled here:
That should switch the
First Slide and the
Second Slide. Change the first slide (that is now white) to whatever color you want to replace with the color in the second slide.
Step 3. Draw!Now, use the
tool to draw over the colors you want changed. You can change texture and pen size with the two boxes next to the color sliders. Now, you have exact control over where you want the color changed. We can make our blue aquatic friend pink, with one green eye, and one yellow eye!
