These are modified color.2da files meant for extending the usefulness of Gaoneng's excellent United Colors mod. Others like myself may have found the standard 256 color palette to be somewhat limiting so I decided to submit these files for the enjoyment of others.
What this basically does is eliminate the majority of the garish color options and replace them with more natural shades of brown, tan, yellow and red. Different races such as drow now have unique and racial appropriate palettes.
There are still some unnatural colors remaining, but I left them in since they are useful when mixed with natural tones to create new shades.

I have uploaded a new set of color.2da files that have revised colors to provide more options and in some cases, remove racially inappropriate colors. The following races have been updated (though the file contains all the 2das):
Moon Elves
Wild Elves
Sun Elves
Half-Elves
Half-Drow
Deep Gnome
Tieflings
