The **Hue Center** is an immovable decorative object that opens the server-wide hue selection menu when you double-click it. Use it to recolor items, pets, and your own hair from a palette of 3000 hues. ==== Accessing the Gump ==== Double-click the Hue Center while standing within 2 tiles to open the hue list. If you are too far away, you will see //"That is too far away."// You can also open the same menu from anywhere using the player command ''[HueCenter''. ==== Hue Credits ==== Every character has a personal **Hue Credits** balance that is saved with your character. Credits are spent when you apply a hue: ^ Target ^ Cost ^ Notes ^ | Item in backpack or worn | 1 credit | Item must be on your person | | Self (hair and facial hair) | 5 credits | Dyes both hair and facial hair together | | Pet | 5 credits | Pet must be controlled by you | If you have zero credits when you try to dye something, you will see //"You have no hue credits. You can recharge them by obtaining a hue credit deed."// and nothing is dyed. Check your current balance at any time with the ''[HueCredits'' command. ==== Hue Range ==== The hue list contains hues numbered **1 through 3000**, shown 25 per page across 121 pages. The menu provides: * Page-up and page-down arrows to move through the list. * A "jump to hue" text entry. Numbers entered are clamped to the 1–3000 range. * A **Reset** row that lets you set a target's hue back to ''0''. Reset follows the same target rules and credit costs as a normal dye. * Per-row **Dye** and **Test** buttons. Hues outside the 0–3000 range are rejected with //"You may only use hues 0-3000."// ==== Test (Preview) Function ==== Each row has a **Test** button that lets you preview a hue at no credit cost. The preview can target: * An item **in your backpack**. Items not in your backpack are rejected with //"The item must be in your backpack to preview the hue."// * A pet you control. Other creatures are rejected with //"That is not your pet."// The target is recolored for **5 seconds** and then automatically reverts to its original hue. Previews never consume credits. ==== Item Eligibility for Permanent Dye ==== A permanent dye is only applied when: * The target is an item in your backpack or equipped on you. Otherwise: //"You can only dye objects that are in your backpack or on your person!"// * The target is yourself (dyes your hair and facial hair). * The target is a pet you control. **Ethereal mounts** also have their mounted (transparent) hue updated to match, so the mount looks the same color whether stored or being ridden. Any other target type returns //"Invalid target."// The Hue Center's tooltip lists the three things it can dye: * //Pets// * //Items In Backpack// * //Target Self To Dye Your Hair// ==== Hue Credit Deed ==== The **Hue Credit Deed +1** is a blessed deed (weight 1.0) used to add credits to your balance. ^ Property ^ Value ^ | Name | Hue Credit Deed +1 | | Blessed | Yes | | Weight | 1.0 | | Credits granted per deed | +1 | | Donation reward cost | 50 points | To use it, double-click the deed **while it is in your backpack**. If it is not in your pack you will see //"That must be in your pack for you to use it."// On use, the deed is consumed, your balance increases by 1, and you see //"You now have N hue credit(s)."// Hue Credit Deeds are available from the donation rewards system at **50 donation points** each. ==== Universal Dye Tub ==== The **Universal Dye Tub** is a separate blessed, securable item. It is not directly connected to the Hue Center: choosing a hue in the Hue Center menu does not automatically copy that hue onto a tub. Once a tub has been set to a hue, it can be used to dye items and pets that color **an unlimited number of times** at no credit cost. Each use copies the tub's current hue onto the target. Targets must be in your backpack or a pet you control. The Universal Dye Tub **cannot** be used on: * Power Scrolls * Bank Checks * Gold * Silver * Shrink Items * Another Universal Dye Tub ==== Commands ==== * ''[HueCenter'' — opens the hue selection menu from anywhere. * ''[HueCredits'' — prints your current Hue Credit balance.
