How to edit terrain colour

Is it at all possible and if so what file contains the data to edit the colour of the terrain ?

For example, it would be really great if i could edit the colour RGB style of say Grass or the ground to a different colour. This would really allow for more diverse planets.

 

you can use the in-game terrain editor to achieve this.

'te' in console.

There you can tint the textures, change saturation, ...

yeah ive been testing and this does exactly what i want thanks. To anyone that hasnt used this, you could in theory take a Desert planet and make the sand Blue ! The tool does it on an RGB slider you just need to match the ground terrain with the terrain selector and then edit away. Great feature ! It does give you the option to save but it looks like if you start a new game or if you run a server and do a wipe, the settings may need to be manually redone again, or am i missing something @jmcburn ?

 

I think it saves in the templates folder of the current savegame. You would need to copy it from there to a new template in the content/playfields folder to make it work with new games.
