ProFantasy Software’s Fractal Terrains Pro world-building software allows you to view a world by climate type. Fractal Terrains Pro (FT) stores climate colour data in a simple text file. This file has a “.clr” extension and contains RGB colour values for each climate type. The file may be edited with any text editor (e.g., Notepad, TextPad, EditPad, et al.)

We’ve included the Chimera-style climate palette file here, but if you want to see what makes it tick, follow these steps:

  1. Download the attached file "climate_chimera.clr"
  2. Save the file your Fractal Terrains "Coloring" directory (e.g., "/FT/Coloring/climate_chimera.clr").
  3. Open FT
  4. Select Map -> Lighting and Colour
  5. Select the Climate tab
  6. Click the Load button
  7. Browse to “climate_chimera.clr” (step #2) and click Open
  8. Click Apply and close the Lighting and Colour dialogue
  9. Select Map -> Show Climate

Note that these colours won’t always map properly if you export the FT file to Campaign Cartographer 2, but you can modify CC2’s palette to address this minor issue.
