How to recolor in MS paint.

1-Make your fore ground color what you want it to be. (The foreground is the one in the front Right click to left tp edit it.)

Say I want to make Megaman red (8-bit)

I use the eye dropper to get MM Light blue color.

It should look like this right now.

Next-I get the color I want to make it. I get the tool bar red.

Now it should look like this.

Cool it's like a giant paint brush.

I get his darker blue color, and the default dark red. And use the eraser.

Now, I make edits. So it just won't be a recolor. Add spikes, change the hair style, add an arsenal of weapons around him, JUST DON'T MAKE IT A RECOLOR! GOT IT!

Of course NEVER use paint default colors, I just used them because I'm lazy. :p

EDIT

WOOT,I'm a commander!
