title: My Track Colours
tags: reaper python

I systematically space my default colours out. They are generated by this script:
```py
#!/usr/bin/env python3


def rgb(r,g,b):
  r = min(1.0,max(0.,r))
  g = min(1.0,max(0.,g))
  b = min(1.0,max(0.,b))
  r *= 255.9
  g *= 255.9
  b *= 255.9
  r = int(r)
  g = int(g)
  b = int(b)
  t = 2
  x = (t << 24) + (r << 16) + (g << 8) + b
  return x

n = 1
def c(r,g,b):
  global n
  print(f"custcolor{n}={rgb(r,g,b)}")
  n += 1

print("""[SWS Color]""")
c(1,0,0)
c(0,1,0)
c(0,0,1)

c(0,1,1)
c(1,0,1)
c(0,1,1)

c(1,0.66,0.66)
c(0.66,1,0.66)
c(0.66,0.66,1)

c(0.66,1,1)
c(1,0.66,1)
c(0.66,1,1)

c(1,0.33,0.33)
c(0.33,1,0.33)
c(0.33,0.33,1)

c(1,0.33,0.66)

print("""gradientEnd=50331647
gradientStart=0""")
```

This results in 
```
