Custom Team Colors

For the past hour ive been try to get a custom team color to work in game,I really want to get this working so these are my findings
Ive tried to do it through 2 methods

Method 1
In the first method i imported the edited color file and just put in the path, as you would with a skin. It didn't work

Method 2
I noticed in "Game Interface" that it had a field "Paths- team Color Images" So I set it to "Glow\TeamColor" ( The defaut is "ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor" and set the colors in the import manager to "Glow\TeamColor00.blp" ,Glow\TeamColor01.blp
and "Glow\TeamColor02.blp" It didnt work

Observations:
I put the blps into my WarCraft 3 Folder, to see if it would show up as a skin does in World Edit, and it works. I also noticed what the Start location on the miniamp changed color to. Im stumped why my attempts didnt work.

Any ideas? Help? etc

Attached is a pic of the world editor shot

I strongly believe that team-colors are hard-coded and wouldn't work in multiplayer games over b.net. I might be wrong...

But if they were why would the "Path- Team Color" feild be there and why would it be in the "Replaceable Textures" folder

It's easy to edit team colour. All 12 of them are under ReplaceableTextures\Teamcolor\. I've sucessfully turned pink to black before. By the way, there appears to be 15 team colours in there. Did Warcraft orginally have the capability to have up to 15 players?

Oh, so that's what it is. Thanks for clarifying.
