How to use "Change color effect" to change the color of a sprite?

Hi,

I am trying to temporarily change the color of a sprite using the 'Change Color Effect by' block, but all I can see is light colors. For example I can get the color of the sprite to change to very light green or light yellow. But that is all. How do I change a sprite's color to dark red or dark blue?

Note that the sprite is a picture (jpg), imported.

Thanks.

You could try a combination of colour effect and brightness blocks to get the colour you want.

You could make a new costume for the sprite that is the color that you want.

If you want darker colours, you can easily just do this:
[blocks]<when I receive[ whatever it is
<change[ colour ]effect by(  1
<change[ brightness ]effect by( -1[/blocks]
Hope I helped!

Maybe you could change the [blocks]<change[ color ]effect by( 25[/blocks]'s 25 to something else to get a dark color?


Math Trick of the Week: Choose any three digit number that's one digit is at least 2 less that the tens digit and the tens digit at least 2 less than the hundreds. Then, reverse the digits and subtract. Then, reverse the digits in the answer and add. You should get 1089.

Yep - as previous posters have mentioned, the only action necessary is to use both the "brightness" block and the "colour" block. Have fun!
