Flag color codes

Overmind uses Directives as flexible wrappers for flags to serve as conditional attachment points for Overlords, which allow for contextual behavior changes. Directives are categorized by color codes, with the primary color indicating a category and a secondary color indicating the specific type.

This list may not always be kept up to date, but you can see a mapping between flag colors and directives in this file.
