C.O.A.T. is a visual realism mod for American Truck Simulator that replaces the game's overly saturated vanilla vehicle colors with authentic, real-world-inspired palettes. It covers both moving AI traffic and parked background vehicles, giving the entire world a more consistent and believable look.
The mod introduces 38 custom RGB color definitions spread across different vehicle categories, from everyday commuter cars to executive and luxury models. Spawn ratios have been adjusted so common fleet colors like white, silver, and gray appear far more often, while rare vintage and factory-specific colors appear only occasionally for added variety.
Semi-trucks get special attention too, with brand-specific color sets created for Freightliner, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt, Volvo, and Western Star AI models, including some heritage and limited-edition paint styles. Static vehicle textures at rest stops, residential areas, and industrial zones have also been reworked to match the new look.
This mod is ideal for players who want a more immersive, true-to-life driving environment and who already enjoy traffic and AI density overhaul mods, as it's built to complement those setups directly.
