A three-colour setup reuqires a rewrite. Two colours are easy using black and white masks. If a third colour comes into play, we could support 4 or 5 colours as well. But not with the current code or update. If this is a wish, please open a new issue.

If we define shields directly in the code, I see no reason to not just add a function for creating shields that will take custom texture name - Chache got a hang of it and provided an example in original issue: #6278
castle_shield_cyan.png^(castle_shield_green.png^[mask:castle_shield_mask_partyperpale.png)^(castle_shield_white.png^[mask:castle_shield_mask_pale.png)

So something like:

local texture_name = "castle_shield_cyan.png^(castle_shield_green.png^[mask:castle_shield_mask_partyperpale.png)^(castle_shield_white.png^[mask:castle_shield_mask_pale.png)"

create_shield("shield_name",texture_name)

Limiting them to 2 colors only makes sense for performance reasons or if we want some in-game method for creating them... But those are nodes, so it's kinda useless.
