Pixel Art Paradise

Description
Have you ever worked on some pixel art, only to come to the despairing realization that Terraria's blocks and colors are quite limited for making detailed works? Than this mod may be for you!

While working on my own pixel art for the past week, I came to the frustrating realization that because of the fact that only the Gemspark Blocks are super viable for most pixel art due to their nature of not having much detail on them, there isn't really many options to shade your pixel art. With the Gemspark Blocks, you only have so many shades of the various paints that you can use, either causing you to either use non Gemspark blocks (Dirt walls for a true brown), or give into despair and realize that you just can't get the shade you desire.

Seeing that there wasn't a mod that did this already, I made this mod in about a single day. It's my first mod and the coding isn't really that great, and ideally I would have fancy things like a way to differentiate between the sprites of the walls and blocks included in this mod, or have those crafted at the dye vat, but alas, I don't care enough to look into that further.

Recipe to craft the first batch of blocks I made is to simply take paint to a Workbench, where you can then make the blocks and walls Currently, I've added several new shades of pink, purple, orange, gray, blue, green, along with adding simple white and black blocks. If you have a request for me to add a specific color, go and throw the hex code into the comments and I'll look into adding it. Hopefully, though, one day this mod inspires someone else to make a superior mod to this.

I've been dying to find a mod that has more paint shades, specifically dark brown. I'm so glad someone else finally tried to do something like this!

Could we get the source code so we could add in any colours we wanted? (Yes I spell colour like that)

The blocks I added were:

1. Primarily to aid in the specific pixel art that I wanted to create
2. Can still be painted, giving you access to wider variety of shades than would be possible without the mod.

Also, people are still free to request me to add specific colors!

it would be cool if you could choose your own colours tbh. looking at the demo images, those don't really look like very good colours for pixel art
