Hmm. It wouldn't be in the TBL, it is probably obscured away in some EXE function call. In the .bin file nothing is in those text boxes to specify it, and I doubt adding a byte would change it.
I guess you could edit the in-game font colors, but anywhere the similar color exists would also be changed.

Hmm. I don't think it is anywhere easily accessable...

Here's what I would do, if you have a decent disassembler. It might work with a hex editor too. Search in the .exe for a string of bytes that starts with the appropriate color code and then has a %i or %d and ends with null. % is 0x25, i is 0x49 and d is 0x44:

0x02 0x25 0x49 0x00, or
0x02 0x25 0x44 0x00

And replace the first byte with the color code that you expect it to be (resources are shown in green, right?)

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
