There's a copy & paste function in the game for the color codes. Hold the left mouse button and drag it across the hex numbers (or just double left click and it'll do it for you) and then hit the right mouse button and select "copy" then go to another mech in the same color spot and right click and paste and then hit the enter key. You need to do it for each color channel on every mech, but its better than trying to manually enter the numbers or dragging the mouse pointer around on the slider bars and color ball.

That's honestly the problem for me. Why can't we just copy all three?

I've been using an external Notepad to copy the three then paste the three because it really is faster than going through SIX (6) menus for ONE (1) paint job.

I use a pice of paper to write down the hexcode because I can type them in faster then using copy & past ^_^
Still it would be nice to save you units colorscheme and just apply that to a new mech.

All of my mechs look the same.. franken cammo, primary and secondary colors all the way down black, tertiary color all the way up white.. basically, all black with white skeleton.. easy to set up on every mech..

I wish there was a button: "Default painting scheme", which applied the camo pattern to all of your current and future mechs.
