CTextColor

cTextColor (unofficial name) is a section in executable of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 that allows text files to retrieve special color modifications.
The game applies a multiply-blend calculation to the stored color values, ending up in slightly darker effective colors.
