Candyland theme
*edit* wait, no, it's the negative effects caused by candy. 
I just typed in the keyword "contest" and found that image, it's nothing specific. 
If it made too much confusion I'll change it to something generic.
This time we need an all-over good working palette - the next topic can involve a lot of different environments in one collab.
Edit: there I changed it to a cupcake *hint* *hint* j/k
I don't think judges are aware of theme
EDIT: just realized that was totally irrelevant. jal or gec or whoever does these things said the theme was already decided on the collab thread. (good thing the last winner did win, imagine a saturated horror collab)
Or maybe, since the astroid icon has almost 200 colors, it is a hint that we should break the 16 color rule?
Might try my hand at this. I've never participated in a 16 Color Contest, so I guess I'll have one heck of a time trying to make a unique, connected palette within a week if I decide to give it a try.
wait a minute... the thumbnail is an asteroid or whatever you call space rocks. A possible hint at the next theme? ;)
The hexidecimal values corresponding to each colour. Hex values range from 0-F. They usually can be found in any basic colours tab. For example. A complete red colour has the hex value of FF0000 because it contains the highest number in red (FF) whilst the green and blue contain nothing (0000). That's a fairly short explanation coming from a first year computer science student so yeah, didn't think i'd ever use that knowledge ;b
Edit: if your colours tab for some odd reason doesn't have the Hex value of each colour then you can convert your colour to hex by putting in the rgb values here.
Maybe this will be an opportunity to break the green ribbon streak on my profile :p
@Mr.Beast. We reason that a known theme would sway y'alls into trying to envision the right colors to match the theme instead of focusing on palette development.
This also serves to force the judges to have an open mind as palette quality, harmony and balance is key. DBs 16 color was born this way and everyone has used or played it because its of such quality and not because it was trying to fit into some box.
No theme for the palette? I know that the previous palette contests didn't have a theme either, but I think it would really add to it and make the experience a bit more unique, especially since this isn't the first pallete contest.
