Propschick, I think I understand where you are coming from, and I agree with you. I have always had a desire to find out how things work "under the hood", and though what I learn is not always usefull, a lot is.

As kuroyume said, with 16777216 combinations, a full colour chart is not practicle. Never the less understanding how the colours work in a MAT file can sometimes be usefull, and I have at times used this knoledge to set white, black, or a primary colour in a text editor, rather than in Poser. But I think that the more important point is the general one, that exploring how Poser script works has given me more control over Poser, and allowed me to do things that are just not possible through the Poser interface. So for me, yes please tell me how it works in the file, and then let me decide if I want to do it in Poser, or in a text editor.
