Can someone help explain this to me? In very simple words. I can't understand code or tech words.

Also there's a python color picker thing they mentioned, could someone help with that too?

With the new Jersey system it's a little more complicated to change Civ colors than is outlined in that 2 yr old reddit post. Unless you really want to delve into learning how to write code, your best bet would be to use SeelingCat's Prismatic mod and then altering the colors to your liking.

Is there a way to choose the colors you want? Like a specific color like dark turquoise for Poland or olive-green for Australia? Something where you can use the hex color?

Technically, yes by altering the RGB values/color selection in the mod's color file. But, with the jersey system there's always a chance the colors will switch to an alternate color palette (jersey) if there's another Civ in-game with similar colors. There's also Calypso's Recolored Civilizations, which uses specific color palettes per Civ rather than the multiple jerseys picked from predefined colors like SeelingCat's. Actually, that may be the better alternative and would be easier to modify the color values to your liking.

Is there a way I can change them?

Yes.

 

[WDVINCO]

Yes.

I wanna choose which colors.

So like:
Egypt's colors are dark turquoise and yellow
Does the mod just change them to say gold and purple
OR
does it allow me to choose which colors I want, say: white and navy blue.

If you want to choose your own colors, you'll need to edit the mod's files directly.

Basically, download the mod, and edit Colors.sql with any text editor (I use programmer's notepad).

For example, here I changed Rome to red and yellow as default:

('LEADER_TRAJAN', 'Unique', 'COLOR_STANDARD_RED_DK', 'COLOR_STANDARD_YELLOW_MD', 'COLOR_SC_DARK_PURPLE', 'COLOR_SC_BRIGHT_YELLOW', 'COLOR_SC_BYZANTIUM', 'COLOR_SC_BRIGHT_YELLOW', 'COLOR_SC_DARK_BURGUNDY', 'COLOR_SC_BRIGHT_YELLOW'),

Can I see the icon after you changed it?
