There are 5 cable colours. How to add more?

I thought this would be a pretty quick google but no. Can you add more wire color combinations to the wire menu that currently has 5?

Yep, there a few modules that allow you to change and add cable colours.

Edit: that link is not showing the filter but if you click it, it will show you some of the modules that do it.

Mine can go up to 15 but you need to manually edit the rack settings file to go past it’s default maximum of 7. Mainly because I find 7 is more than enough and I haven’t gotten around to making the module automatically flip between the 7 colour and the 15 colour version.

Nice! I have the Inklen module and it happened to be in a patch I was playing with. Works perfectly. Thx Count!

You should be able to edit this section of the settings.json file with any text editor:

 "cableColors": [
    "#f3374b",
    "#ffb437",
    "#00b56e",
    "#3695ef",
    "#8b4ade",
    "#454545",
    "#ff85ff",
    "#00e0ff"
  ],

I use the Submarine one, then imaginatively change them all to grey! I find it easier on the eye for some reason.
