/* 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.
