How does "colorMultiplier" work?

[SackCastellon]

I need to know how does the colorMultiplier method work to get some specific colors for a bunch of blocks.

 

Just if it works like basecolor x modifier = newcolor // 500 x 20 = 10000 (for example) or else.

 

Thanks for helping.

Sort of.  I think it does a multiply blend (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes#Multiply).

 

Your example of 500 x 20 isn't really a good way to think about it because the colors are multiplied in hexadecimal RGB notation (I think).  So the actual effect is actually sort of useful -- for example you can colorize black-and-white pictures by multiplying in color.  You might want to play with a multiply layer effect in Photoshop or GIMP to really understand it.
