addons that this tool works with
A few addons that have Proxy Color Tool support. Should give you a good idea of what is possible with it.

**any GTAV vehicle of mine will support this tool as well**


This list is probably not going to be updated, but is here to give a rough idea of some things that can be done with the tool.

Some things I've noticed:
------------------
I like how with the Audi RS6, the model utilizes the proxy color tool for interior coloring and the color tool for the body panels. This is a neat idea that makes the proxy color tool not *needed* but allows both tools to be used together without conflicting/coloring each other.

With the Ford Taurus, the proxy color tool is utilized for coloring the brake pads, hubcaps, and calipers. While it is a similar setup to how the Audi was done, using the proxy color tool for only extra bits and not the body panels themselves, the color tool will tint/overlay proxy color tool colors and offset them.
The Audi definitely did better when adding proxy color tool support but I don't think the color tool and proxy color tool conflict on purpose. It is a cop car with a livery so it didn't really need colored body panels (until you change the skin from 0 to 1).

The splatoon hairstyles utilize this tool in a different way than I thought this tool would be used. While each material on the hair props have only one color slot each, I am sure with some cool vmt magic you could put multiple color slots on one material. I am not that knowledgeable with vmt files and proxies so I don't know of any cool tricks to utilize or better make this tool but I am sure there are people out there that can pull off similar effects to the splatoon hair colors with only one material.
------------------

This discussion is not meant to be a complete list of all addons that support the tool, but if you want to comment an addon that supports this tool below you may.

It's in the required addons. I haven't yet tested it myself.
