-Example:
+===== Clan color =====
+Each team must have a color. The color also determines clan membership: Teams with equal color are in the same clan.
+
+The team color is specified as a number from -9 to -1. This will select one of the 9 possible team colors as specified in the player's settings. As the actual colors are set by the player, you can't predict them, but you can usually trust these defaults:
 
-<code language="lua">AddTeam("team 1", 0xDD0000, "Simple", "Tank", "Default", "hedgewars")
---[[ Adds a new team with name “team 1”, red color (hexadecimal notation), the grave “Simple”,
+ * `-1`: red
+ * `-2`: blue
+ * `-3`: cyan
+ * `-4`: purple
+ * `-5`: magenta
+ * `-6`: green
+ * `-7`: orange
+ * `-8`: brown
+ * `-9`: yellow
+
+An older (and now discouraged) method of specifying the color is by hardcoding it as an RGB color (i.e. `0xDD0000`). This practice is now strongly discouraged because it will ignore the player-chosen color (which is *bad* for players with color blindness) and in 99% of cases you don't need it anyway. It should be only used for testing and debugging.
