GIMP / Photoshop have tools that allow you to click a pixel or region in the image to determine the color value. Try 6a513c or thereabouts.

Use the method suggested by Watsisname to get the numerical RGB values, then divide by 255.

Yeah, sorry. HTML 6a513c RGB 106, 81, 60 absParticleColor (0.42, 0.32, 0.24) The current values are quite different so I'm not sure if that will work or not (I don't have the time to try at the moment). If it doesn't you may just have to experiment.

Also, keep in mind that dust colors in the galaxy model script have to be inverted, so 0.42 0.32 0.24 would become 0.24 0.32 0.42.

Mmmm, a little more realistic in my case! But realism is in the eye of the beholder. (Sorry to sound cryptic). I will see if a lighter brown can be more of a fruit punch! (Ohhh, I'm now speaking in riddles ).Added (15.06.2013, 19:43) --------------------------------------------- New question: can someone tell me how to get the Trifid Nebula, The Eagle Nebula, & The Omega Nebula visible at normal zoom from earth orbit?

Interesting Crashman1390 What did you adjust to get that nice black interstellar gas and dust appearance? Just what Watsisname suggested?

Thanks alot Crashman1390 ! Indeed haters gone hate, but it's not always from 1 side... it's usually from both sides. Becareful EDIT: I think I'll un-install S.E. and place it in a part of my system that allows me to mess and adjust in my .cfg But... Please anyone tell me in what part of my system to allow it? I also downloaded S.E. by alternate mirror cause I forgot my Google password xD

You can't uninstall SE since it is already installed when unzipped.
Love Space Engine!

Yeah, just put it in a folder on the desktop or something. You can either delete everything you've got and install fresh (as Fireinthehole says it's installed simply by extracting the zip, and uninstallation is as simple as deleting it), or just move it all over to a non-system location, or if you can, give permission for the system to open/edit the files where they are. Whatever makes the most sense to you.

You go to: Models/Galaxies/Models.cfg then you find Galaxymodel "MilkyWay" then you replace the entire part of the .cfg that is listed for the Milky way. Basically all that you see in the code. Then you go into your main folder and go to the one called "Cache" go to Models/Galaxies and delete the file listed as MilkyWay.gm EDIT: If you want to know how to fiddle around with the files in SE: if the operating system doesn't recognize it just say it is a notepad file.
