Added a quick facts table, an intro line, a related style books section, and more customization wikilinks; clarified how the book unlocks colors and how it relates to reputation ga
The Style Book: Stock Hull Colors is a consumable book that adds three baseline hull paints to the Wharf customisation menu: Black Powder, Seasoned Oak, and Maiden Timber. It is the entry level option for repainting a ship hull, part of the wider Ship Customization system.

A Style Book is a one time read consumable. Right click the book in the inventory to read it, and the entire set of designs it lists is added permanently to that character's Wharf customisation menu. After reading, the book is removed from the inventory but the designs stay forever, applicable to any ship that character owns. Other characters in a shared base must each read their own copy.
Design | Notes |
|---|---|
A near black wash with a deep, sooty undertone. | |
A warm honey brown finish that suits unmodified hulls. | |
A pale, almost ivory coloured wood treatment. |
Sold by the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner for 30 Guinea. Your Faction Reputation with the Brethren of the Coast must reach the rank that opens the cosmetic stock at the Provisioner before the book becomes available for purchase.
Stock Hull Colors is the baseline tier of the hull paint line. The same Provisioner stock and the equivalent vendors for other factions also carry related books that expand a character's customisation options:
Style Book: Brethren Hull Colors: a further set of hull paints beyond the stock three.
Style Book: Stock Sails Colors: the sails equivalent, for recolouring canvas rather than the hull.
Read the book at the dock before opening the Wharf customisation menu. Browsing for the new design before reading the book will leave the menu blank where the new options should be.
Style Books are bound to a character, not a base or a clan. If a friend wants the same designs they need to buy and read their own copy.
All cosmetic designs are stat neutral. There is no mechanical reason to prefer one design over another, only personal aesthetic and the visual signal it sends to other crews at sea.
