Help on backgroud colours

Post by arbiterxxxxxxx »

I've been trying to make new sprites but the only background colour that works for me is black, and that means I can't add outlines. can someone tell me what coulour i should use for backgrounds? thank you.

Use a colour that's not used anywhere else on the sprite. Something bright and obnoxious is a common choice, like lime green or magenta.

The game determines transparency colour based off the pixel in the lower left of the image, take that in mind.
