+/* STOP USING FUCKING COLOR_MULT IT IS AN AWFUL SYSTEM WITH AWFUL RESULTS. DO THE BASE SPRITES PROPERLY AND THEY WILL LOOK FINE!
+
+Seriously, stop using color_mult. It's a broken legacy system. Here's the difference for anyone who intends to sprite new icons...
+
+* In color_mult, which is the wrong system, you make your base sprite as light as you ever want to see it. Why is it bad? Because
+  color_mult plasters over details like you're dumping paint onto something.
+
+* In color_add, which is THE CORRECT system, you make your base sprite as black as it should ever appear. Why is it better? Because
+  the details you painstakingly added to the sprite are no longer fucked by adding coloration to it.
