+amount of colors.

+#Color groups
+-------------
+Base color groups:
+- basecolor_white
+- basecolor_grey
+- basecolor_black
+- basecolor_red
+- basecolor_yellow
+- basecolor_green
+- basecolor_cyan
+- basecolor_blue
+- basecolor_magenta
+
+Extended color groups (* = equal to a base color):
+* excolor_white
+- excolor_lightgrey
+* excolor_grey
+- excolor_darkgrey
+* excolor_black
+* excolor_red
+- excolor_orange
+* excolor_yellow
+- excolor_lime
+* excolor_green
+- excolor_aqua
+* excolor_cyan
+- excolor_sky_blue
+* excolor_blue
+- excolor_violet
+* excolor_magenta
+- excolor_red_violet
+
+The whole unifieddyes palette as groups:
+- unicolor_<excolor>
+For the following, no white/grey/black is allowed:
+- unicolor_medium_<excolor>
+- unicolor_dark_<excolor>
+- unicolor_light_<excolor>
+- unicolor_<excolor>_s50
+- unicolor_medium_<excolor>_s50
+- unicolor_dark_<excolor>_s50

+Example of one shapeless recipe using a color group:

+	output = '<mod>:item_yellow',
+	recipe = {'<mod>:item_no_color', 'group:basecolor_yellow'},
