Overlay colors

Does anyone know if the colors used in the overlays (specifically, the supply overlay) are modifiable? If so, do you know what file the settings are located in?
Thanks.

I found and downloaded the DB and the map editor (in the "Modding AGE engine games" forum), but I'm still looking for ways to change the overlay colors. Nothing seems obvious.
These aren't hardcoded in the .exe, are they?

The colors are defined (RGBT) in ColorsAliases.ini under \Aliases, but I'm not sure which are for supply....
I'd guess the colors with 150 are the overlay colors

The last value of the set of 4 figures in the ColorAlias is the transparency...255 is no transparency at all, 0 is full transparency, so 150 is somewhere in the middle and indeed used for overlays

Awesome! Thanks guys.
Edit (after looking at the ColorsAliases.ini again): I was looking at this file earlier, but I was hoping that this wasn't the only thing available. I guess that there's only one color used on the supply map now? I'd
swear that depots used to show up in a darker green, in some earlier version...

They used to be a darker green. That was changed for 1.14? or 1.15. I don't remember which one.
