🎨 Shadowforge Update — Recent Color Palette System
Shadowforge now includes a fully integrated Recent Colors Palette, improving workflow speed and making color selection much faster and more intuitive during painting.

🟣 Recent Color History (30 slots)
Shadowforge now automatically stores the last 30 used colors
Colors are displayed in a clean 6×5 circular grid
The most recently used colors appear first
🎯 Instant Color Reuse
Click any circle in the recent palette to instantly switch to that color (while holding CTRL)
No need to re-adjust sliders or color pickers
Works seamlessly with brush and tool switching
🔄 Fully Synced Color System
The palette is fully integrated with Shadowforge’s color engine:
HSV color wheel (Hue & Saturation)

Main brush color (global.color)
Eyedropper and painting tools
All systems stay synchronized automatically when a color is selected.
🧠 Smart Color Tracking
Duplicate colors are automatically moved to the front instead of being repeated
