Recoloring the Pet Beds

Click on each of the sprites you see in the folder to open them and put them on your work area. Once you do that for all 4 your work area should look like this:

All four sprites for the Blue bed are in front of you and we're now ready to recolor. The first thing I usually do is select each of the sprites in turn and change them from their current 256 colors mode to RGB mode (or 16 million colors.

Select one of the sprites and click Ctrl + Shift + 0 and your sprite should now be in 16 million colors. Move it out of the way and convert the other three in exactly the same way as you did the first sprite.

The next thing we want to do is select our colors. This bed's frame is going to be blue, and that yucky green cushion won't match blue, so we'll need a color for that as well.

To the right of your screen there should be some palettes, with the topmost being your colors palette. Click on the foreground color swatch which is located here:
