What to study

Customization kept to one gesture: pick a swatch or type a hex value (#751E4A here) and the flume bowl in the world already wears it. The Recent row remembers the park's palette so a second ride matches the first without re-typing, and Reset/Accept/Cancel make the change explicitly reversible before it commits. The panel floats over the live park rather than opening a separate screen, so the color is judged against the water and sky it will sit in. Frame at about 60.5s in the Preorder Trailer - En (Steam). The trailer's ALPHA IN-GAME FOOTAGE caption at the bottom center is publisher burn-in, not game UI.
