Massive thank you for this info.
I used Bimmercode's easy mode to change colours and it straight up doesn't work correctly on my car - whatever I choose replaces blue rather than bronze, and the mix (e.g. cyan-magenta) doesn't work, I just get one of the colours and blue footwells.
I reported the issue a while ago but got tired of waiting for a fix so I took the plunge with your DIY for expert mode and it really is very straightforward.
Once you understand what you are changing, you can design any colour scheme you want.
Some things that assisted me:-
Colour codes:
In addition to changing bronze to red, I also wanted to change white to cyan, and lilac to magenta so I could create the combo's I wanted.
I used this site to find the hex codes for the colours I wanted -
https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-names/
But as per the OP's warning, I changed the FF to FE. I used this site to check that changing FF to FE still gave the same colour -
https://www.colorhexa.com/00fefe (it did).
For Cyan I used 00 FE FE
For Magenta I used FE 00 FE
Keeping track of my changes:
I changed most of my default colour schemes, so I needed something to keep track of what I was doing. I've attached the table I created for this purpose - I printed this, worked out what I wanted and filled it in with the values so when I got in the car I just had to make the changes as per the table. Also acts as a record in case my coding gets wiped and I have to re-do it.
