each pair "890900" : "2d392f" represents one single color swapping to another. each object {enclosed in curly brackets} represents one instance of color swapping that happens all together. the comments // you see at the end of each line outline the different color categories used in the default melee weapon assets, main referring to the reds, secondary the greys, detail the blues.
That really depends on how you want to count. I see 25 objects, each has 9 swaps each swap identifies 2 colors total of 450 color codes. maybe like, 100 are actually unique? If this isnt helpful please be more specific about your confusion and the question you are asking.
0 weapons are created by this file. The file represents 25 possible color schemes. When the non-unique melee weapons are generated 1 of these 25 is selected at random to apply to that weapon.
Basically what IHart said, these are color pallets for weapons through RNG I think, this basically decides what color the Random weapon will be based on the hex color value. They are in pairs so the weapons don't look ugly... i.e spawning a gun with primary pink and bright red as secondary.
see, it's things like this that make life easier... It's almost as useful as my folder with transparent species so I can paint new armor on them lol.
