This guide is assuming you already know how to edit players dinos via the database, there are other guides for that. This guide is specifically to explain how to read and edit players skin colors using the colors correlating number.

Please note that you are not able to assign a color that is normally unavailable to that dinosaur/color region. If you try, the color will revert back to the default value.

We’ll only be looking at the last little bit of the player data, basically, all the sections labeled “SkinPalette….”



Starting from the top “SkinPaletteSection1” to “SkinPaletteSection5” is straight forward, these are the color regions you select in-game in order you’d see them Crest, Underbelly, Body 1, Body 2, Body 3

SkinPaletteSection1 = Detail/Crest
SkinPaletteSection2 = Underbelly
SkinPaletteSection3 = Body 1
SkinPaletteSection4 = Body 2
SkinPaletteSection5 = Body 3

“SkinPaletteSection6” can be ignored. This section is always a value of 0 or 254 but I can’t find any pattern on which dinos are which. For 0 you have Rex, Giga, and Cerato, while every other survival dino it’s 254. Though, this section should already be correct if you are editing a skin.

I'm not yet sure what this does/will effect in game.

The last section should be obvious “SkinPaletteVariation” is the variation level.

0.0 = Off/No Variation
8.0 = Small Variation
6.0 = Medium Variation
4.0 = Large Variation

Here's basically the color options you should have per region for carnivores and herbivores respectively. A lot of colors are only available as the default skin and can not be used on any other region or dino chosen manually. Some colors are also exceptions to these lists such as the color oddly named "Carno Crest Lime" which only appears on Dilo. Layout of color is how they appear in game.

Detail | Crest



Underbelly, Body 1, Body 2



Body 3



Detail | Crest
*colors with this next to it have had their name shortened to fit the layout neatly




Underbelly, Body 1, Body 2



Body 3

Each color has a correlating number in the database going through 0 to 80. I tried to format the list in a way that would be more space efficient instead of a single 80 lined list. So in case for any reason there is any confusion expect the first number in the header to match the first color below and go in that order. So using the first line as an example
0 = Allo 1
1 = Allo 2
2 = Allo 3
3 = Allo 4
4 = Allo 5
