Skillcape Customiser

The Skillcape Customiser is an interface unique to the max cape and completionist cape that allows the wearer to choose the particular colours of the cape.

There are four different areas on both capes that may be recoloured, defaulting to a red theme. The colour scheme is shared between an account's max and completionist capes, so they cannot have different themes.



The colours on the cape are represented with hue-saturation-lightness coordinates. Unlike normal HSL coordinates which are in the ranges [0,360°) for hue, and [0,100%] for both saturation and value, the system RuneScape uses the ranges [0,63] for hue, [0,7] for saturation, and [0,127] for lightness. This allows for 65,536 uniquely defined colours.

The conversion between standard HSL and RuneScape-HSL coordinates are not exact. It would be logical to assume that $$\frac{L_R}{127} \times 100$$ would produce the standard system coordinate, but it appears to be closer to $$\frac{L_R}{180} \times 100$$.

Hue determines what part of the spectrum will define the integrity of the colour. Starting with low values, the spectrum follows the colours of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and rolling over back to red.

Saturation determines how intense the colour will be. Lower values produce gray, and higher values produce "purer" colours.

Lightness determines how dark the colour will be. Lower values produce darker colours, and higher values produce lighter colours.
