Even the Spanish flag from EU4, which is a combination of the coats of arms of Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarra and Sicily, could not be recreated with the designer. The real example shown above, where you put the English and French coat of arms together into one, can practically not be created with the designer.

If you set a value in the corresponding file that is larger than the number of colors actually used, the user has one more color display, but can't do anything wrong. However, this correction is not perfect and cannot be relied upon the modder should always make sure to use the right colors. CK has a certain tolerance and tries to match other deviating colors according to one of these color values. The game automatically recognizes the color value 0x000084 (blue) as color 1, the color value 0x00FF94 (light green) as color 2 & the color value 0xFF0084 (magenta) as color 3.

The underlying dds image file is decisive for this. This specifies how many colors the user can set for the chosen emblem. You can specify 1,2 or 3 as the color option.
