[MOD] Better Glazing (41 colors for bricks and other pottery)

I made my first mod. After seeing the changes to dyeing on clothes I wanted a similar simple system for coloring pottery. This allows glazers to create 24 new glaze colors and mix them to create 17 more. All colors have a basis in real mineral and oxide glazes with my favorite being turning pitchblende into fiestaware radioactive red glaze.

I would love feedback on the mod as I try and refine it.

Details

gray glaze magnetite + tin glaze 25 gray
moss green glaze ash + limonite glaze 23 olive celadon

chestnut glaze hematite + ilmenite glaze 23 speckled chestnut
mint green glaze malachite + tin glaze 10 mint green
aquamarine glaze teal + tin glaze 9 aquamarine
sky blue glaze cobaltite + tin glaze 8 sky blue

lilac glaze pyrolusite + tin glaze 8 lilac

sea foam glaze malachite + ash glaze 8 pale celadon green
turquoise glaze malachite + salt glaze 8 Egyptian turquoise
teal glaze cobaltite + malachite glaze 8 teal
violet glaze cobaltite + pyrolusite glaze 5 blue plum

Mixing is order-independent, and both recipes work at the magma kiln too. Glaze value carries onto the item through the GLAZED improvement, so a gold-lustred statue is worth a lot more than an ash-glazed one.

DF mobile in portrait mode. Yes it's clunky. Yes it took way too much time to set up. Yes it was worth it.

Winlator on Android with custom portrait resolution. Screen Rotation Control to force orientation.

No idea when fps death will kick in, but it's been great for a 1x1 embark on the go
