If you are using additional space to store your ARK Game files, look here: X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\MyPaintings\
Note: If the ‘MyPaintings’ folder can’t be found, you can manually create one yourself.
The “MyPaintings” folder itself only exists if you create it manually, or have saved a .pnt file in ARK previously.
ARK COLOR ID'S
You can't have a fully nude/non-colored dino. Ark core game logic thinks fully nude dinos are a new spawn, and triggers a full random color roll on all regions.
Species Color Sets
Each species is defined as having two color sets (one male, one female). These color sets are separate assets from the species themselves and define the default colors each creature can spawn with in the wild only. A color set contains the ColorSetDefinitions, an array of 6 color set definition entries. Each entry contains a RegionName, an array of ColorEntryNames, and more recently RandomWeights, MinLevel, and MaxLevel arrays.
The RegionName is supposed to represent the region of a species the region would map to, however, it appears that the developers have used a cheat sheet of shorts that they just copy/paste from that sets the region name as something along the lines of Dark All -Nn to correspond to the list of color entry names. The entry names contains a list of strings that correspond to the ColorName a creature can spawn with. The strings are then referenced against the Color Definitions Array when a creature is spawned. However, this list is prone to typos.
Event color sets, like the one used for Valentine's Day, work exactly the same way. The only exception is a creature will not naturally spawn with one of these specialty color sets. Part of the event code contains an override that any creature spawned will have a 10% chance of using the event color set as opposed to it's natural colors. [NOTE] New code has been introduced so that Unofficials can set the % higher on Event colors. As long as the event is active, newly spawned creatures will have a chance to use the event color set. Disabling the event does not remove the event colors.
As a reminder, color sets only apply to creatures that are not bred but instead either wild spawned or spawned with admin commands. They do not restrict mutation colors or the ability to manipulate the color region colors with commands or mods
ARK colors for the Color Blind
WHAT IS DEUTAN COLOR BLINDNESS?
Deutan color blindness (also known as deuteranomaly) is a type of red-green color blindness in which the green cones in the eye detect too much red light and not enough green light.
As a result red, yellow, green, and brown can appear similar, especially in low light. It may also be difficult to tell the difference between blues and purples, or pinks and grays. Learn more about Deutan and other types of color blindness.
WHAT IS PROTAN COLOR BLINDNESS?
Protans are people with protanomaly, a type of red-green color blindness in which the red cones do not detect enough red and are too sensitive to greens, yellows, and oranges.
As a result, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and browns may appear similar, especially in low light. It can also be difficult to tell the difference between blues and purples, or pinks and grays. Red and black can be difficult to differentiate, especially when red text is against a black background. Unless Protan glasses are used, it can be challenging to tell them apart.
WHAT IS TRITAN COLOR BLINDNESS?
Tritan-type color vision is characterized by a loss of color discrimination for shades of blue and yellow. Tritanomaly, causing reduced blue sensitivity and Tritanopia, resulting in no blue sensitivity, can be inherited or acquired; the inherited form is a rare autosomal recessive condition. More commonly, tritanomaly is acquired later in life due to age-related or environmental factors. Cataracts, glaucoma and age related macular degeneration could cause someone to test as a Tritan. People with tritanomaly have reduced sensitivity in their blue “S” cone cells, which can cause confusion between blue versus green and red from purple.
WHAT IS TETRACHROMACY?
We’ve all heard of some people being color blind and how the condition impedes your color vision, but how many of us have heard of tetrachromacy? This is a condition affecting your color vision which enables you to see around 100 million shades of colors. To put this into perspective, the average person with standard color vision sees approximately 1 million different hues, while somebody who is color blind may see as few as 10,000 colors.
