-------------------- SLOT MODES --------------------

ORBIT
Colors rotate through the selected color channels with offset timing between slots, creating a layered animated palette effect.

SCROLL
Colors move steadily through the selected channels in a smooth scrolling loop.

PULSE
Colors swell in and out between selected channels, creating a breathing glow effect.

FLICKER
Colors rapidly jump and shift through the selected channels for unstable, electric, chaotic, or glitch-style palettes.

SPEED BASED
Color animation speed reacts to player movement speed. Slower movement creates slower shifting, while faster movement increases the animation rate.

ATTACK
Slots remain normal until the player performs B-button attacks or ground pounds. The slot fires up almost instantly, then fades back down based on the slot’s Speed setting.

-------------------- SLOT OVERRIDES --------------------

OFF
Uses the selected slot mode normally.

RAINBOW
Overrides the selected color channels and cycles the slot through a full rainbow.

RANDOM COLORS
Continuously generates random shifting colors for that slot.

SHIMMER
Creates a fast shimmering effect using the slot’s selected color channels.

-------------------- GLOBAL OVERRIDES --------------------

OFF
No global override. Slots use their own individual settings.

SHIMMER
Cycles through enabled slots from head to toe, briefly highlighting one slot at a time.

SHADOW
Cycles through enabled slots while all non-active enabled slots become black.

SHINE
Cycles through enabled slots while all non-active enabled slots become white.

INVERTED
Cycles through enabled slots by inverting the original palette color for the active slot.

SPEED
Forces enabled slots to animate based on player movement speed.

PRISM
Applies a vivid prism-style color spread across all enabled slots.

NEON
Darkens the base palette and pushes enabled slots toward intense neon colors while better preserving whites, neutrals, and skin tones.

ATTACK
Forces all enabled slots into attack-reactive behavior using the Global Override Speed setting.

-------------------- MENU AND HUD --------------------

• Added a preview HUD showing each slot’s live color.
• Preview HUD displays slot Override, Mode, Speed, and selected color channels.
• Preview HUD now uses numeric values matching the Legend panel.
• Added a Legend panel explaining color, override, mode, and global override values.
