MaximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue) TotalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)ĪverageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColorsĪverageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:įor each color (all 'total' variables start at 0 before counting): The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals.
