Each country has 3 colours that define what colours their units will have. I've seen a lot of these countries defined I a specific "country_colours" text file. But a lot of other countries aren't defined.

What confused me further is that I play with the extended timeline mod which does not change or add 3 colours to any countries. But me playing as Chagatai I noticed that my units were coloured Red white and black, when the vanilla colours file defines chagatai as having Grey and light pink units.

My questions are:
1. Why the hell were my Chagatai troops coloured differently?
2. For countries with undefined 3 colours, does the game choose the first, second and third most "prominent" colour on the nation's flag to determine the colour of the units? And if not, then how are they chosen?
