Colouring guide
One cool thing in Entropia Universe is that some items can be coloured. Armour can't be coloured but is a well known scam. Typical items you can colour is furniture and clothes.

How do I know that an item can be coloured?
If you right click an item in your inventory you can show some facts about it. Among the facts you will se a line saying -"This item can be coloured".

How do I get colour?
To be able to colour an item you need one or more colour cans. You
can loot different colours from different mobs or buy from other players or in auction. What mob that loots what colour you can find in Wiki charts, see link page.

How do I colour an item?
To be able to put some colour on the item you have you need a Colour gun. The colour gun you can buy in the trade terminal. Drag the colour gun to your quick bar and the press the key assigned to it twice to open the colouring interface. Drag the item you would like to give some better colours to the right pane. In the bottom you will see 3 panes/squares where you can put your colours. In the top left you will see the best possible result. Keep in mind that it is the best possible, not how it will look. How it will look depends totally on your skills and how much colour cans you put in the colour panes. If you did put the wrong colour in, you can drag it back to your inventory and start over again. The more colours you put in the stronger will the colour be. You can't put in more than 20 cans. In the bottom of the three colour panes you can see how much change you have for success.

 How do I get more skill in colouring?
If you like colouring and would like to get better skills one way is to buy a lot of uncoloured cheap items like the basic shirt. Loot or buy a lot of paint and start colouring. What I have read and experienced my self it's enough with 5 cans of paint to get skills. So put a cheap item in the colouring interface and put 5 cans of orange in and press Apply. The other way is to get a bleaching add on to your color gun. The bleacher you find in the Trade Terminal and it costs only 2 PED. Drag the bleacher on to your color gun and now you have a new button called bleach. Bleach your item and then apply five cans of color to one part, then bleach again and add color. Do this until you are satisfied. The bleacher will brake after a while so you will have to repair it once and the.
