Today I wanted to make a note for chat commands so new players could reference them without bringing up "/help". I started fooling around with the "/light [RGB Hex value]" command which allows you to change the light setting. I always liked using the light settings in Fantasy Grounds; it's such a subtle way to convey a change in mood or circumstances. The 4 base lighting schemes are perfect for most settings. So I started looking around for light temperatures and wavelengths to see if someone had converted them to RGB values. I found plenty of values, so I made a reference table so that now you can have scenes by candle light, or sodium vapor street lights or even black light if you wanted to.

Say, that is a nice lighting extension! I didn't come up with that on my preliminary forums search. I had figured that someone had done some light tuning. Thanks Damned!

Nice to see these. I dabbled a bit to soften the glaring painful stark white of the custom 5E themes.
