Details
- GetItemQualityColor() was added in 1.9.1
- If an invalid quality index is specified, GetItemQualityColor() returns white (same as index 1):
- r = 1
- g = 1
- b = 1
- hex = |cffffffff
Changes
- Quality 7 was added in version Patch 3.0 for heirloom items
- ITEM_QUALITY7_DESC is now defined as of Patch 3.1.1
- Patch 6.1.2 introduced quality 8, WoW Token.
- Patch 7.0.3 changed the Heirloom color from Heirloom ffe6cc80 to Heirloom ff00ccff. This was likely done to avoid confusion with Artifact ffe6cc80.
