yeah, but it's a very good idea to name the rgb values 'cause when you see this code "RGB(190,97,52)", you don't know what color it is. You can know that it's a red with a few modifications, but you don't really know.

but when you see "db_tomato", you know without calculating what color it is ^^

Write a DLL - in this case a lot of functions, and stick them in the plug-ins directory.
