Function: compositionColor()

compositionColor(c, backbone?): string

The colour a body takes on, blended from its tissues' elements.

Uses the CPK colours from the ported table, so a chitinous creature reads carbon-dark and a mineral-rich one reads phosphorus-orange. The pixel a player sees is downstream of what the creature is actually made of.

The backbone reaches the player here most visibly: carbon's CPK colour is near-black, silicon's is a pale teal. A silicon-based creature looks different because it IS different, not because anything recoloured it.

Parameters
