CHALLENGE: RGx WaterDraw a scene which involves water. For example: a calm lake, a gardener watering their plants or a mockup of an underwater level, anything goes as long as there is some water visible. The twist: there are no "blue" values allowed. You can use any colors between [0,0,0] and [255,255,0], but make sure that each color has 0 for the blue component! If using hex codes, colors will be #XXXX00. (This also means no gray, white, or magenta, as all include some value in the blue channel). Canvas Size - Max 128x96 (any orientation) CHALLENGE RULES

Since when is a RGB color channel of a palette called subpixel?
Interesting challenge though! |

You are right, that is a bit confusing. Challenge wording is updated!

Originally a post in the PJ Official Discord Server, but I'm putting it up here for the benefit of anyone who hasn't yet joined (which you should totally do). -- I was having some trouble visualizing the available color space for the challenge, so I made this square with red and green values being the x-y coordinates. ![]() Something I noticed about the colors is that with the exception of black, they all have maximum saturation. The value rises linearly from 0 to 100 as you approach the lower and right edges. And of course, the Hue is limited from 0 to 120, exactly a third of the available spectrum. As someone who thinks exclusively in HSV, this information gives me a good starting point on what I'd like to do for the challenge. Hopefully it'll be interesting, if not useful, for someone else out there :v |

I started in RGB and then reduced all B to 0. Worked well to get something on the page, as the full saturation look can be quite challenge to start.

Ok, I think the problem I have with this week's challenge isn't not being able to use blue - it's not being able to use white! Any advice on how to make a piece that looks good without white tones...?

Whenever part of the theme is water related, the first thing that comes to my mind is warships, particularly the Yamato.
