	Help on colors Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I have a few questions about the colors used in the game:

1) in the build screen I see different colors for different facilities or groups of facilities (e.g. Command Center=red, Centauri Preserve=green, Stockpile energy=yellow). What do these colors represent? Governor settings, technology category, ...?!?

2) I noticed that renaming a unit using brackets -- [ ] -- changes the color of the name-text. This is nice for prototyping ... I can quickly find all my basic prototype units and upgrade them in the workshop. Now, are there other such "color change" functions?

Customizing is great!

	Suffering from ads?

But there are exceptions, like the bio-lab, which is yellow (should be white or green IMO) and the recyc-tanks, which are green (should be yellow? - but they come from a white tech...) Its not so straightforward like Laz says

BTW, I didn't know about the brackets

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

it gives a white bonus = research and a green bonus = worms life cycle , so they get mushed together and form yellow

Hmm, that makes some sense, but I understand it's not quite consistant...

... and I found that you can also use { } to add yet another effect to the names - though I'm not sure how these things are intended.

Happy customizing
