Is it possible? I've tried everything I could think off...

You may wish to elaborate.

However, I believe only changing the RBG value of one state of an icon is very possible, however you are going to have to manually using the new state modification functionality the BYOND team has graced us with! ^_^

If you want to change just a single portion of an icon, such as a mob wearing a blue shirt and blue pants, but you want to keep the shirt blue, and make the pants black... While possible, will take a very large amount of work to make it actually happen.

(note, the file above isnt working in my browser, so I don't know what the deal is... O_o Is it working for you?)

Note that I never attested to the usefulness of such a system.

You're better off using overlays.

It's not that hard, it just requires a mask for every piece of clothing. So, why not just have an unclothed base, and then the clothing overlays, to which you can swap/add color to however you want? It's just plain wasteful, as a matter of fact.

Well, hard as in time consuming. =/
That's why I'm just going to use overlays.
Thanks. :p

SwapColor proc (icon)
See also: 
icon 
icon procs 
rgb() proc 
Format: 
SwapColor(old_rgb,new_rgb) 
Args: 
old_rgb: the old rgb value to be replaced 
new_rgb: the new rgb value to use in its place 
This causes a color value in the icon's palette to be changed

He wanted to know if you could change one part of an icon, without touching the rest of the icon even if the colour was the same.

Just look below and you'll see my solution.
