   Topic: 11 Color Palette CompPosted: 06 April 2016 at 7:47am |

Pixeljoint is holding another pallette competition which is open to everyone and is quite simple.
Submit your 11 color unique + original color palette. Comp closes in 2 weeks, April 26, 2016. (CLOSED!) - The winning palette will be used on PJs next ISOcollab project. If
you submit a palette you acknowledge that it will be used by others
for the purpose of this project and credit may not be posted by
participants if they submit their project piece to their gallery but
you will get overall credit for it. These palettes are not to be
considered art so please do not submit to your galleries. Its best to
assume that others may use your palette beyond this project. By
entering you are giving permission to others to use. - A unique + original palette is the goal but a well balanced palette is very important even if your entry is monochromatic. |

Not used to making palettes but I'll give it a shot. Tried it out on a piece of armor I made earlier and I liked it pretty well.
ps. if there's somewhere else I should submit this please let me know. pps. Is there a pixel font tool you used for your codes or some other source? Making each letter for these was a bit time consuming and might discourage multiple entries. |

Font is 'silkscreen' and available for download from the links 'fonts' section of the gallery and is generically considered the basic 5px font. |

Here's my take and a test:
I just hope it's not too close to an existing palette. I initially saw it was a tad bit similar to the Fun16 palette (the one from the ISOtopes collab), at least to me, so I tried to alter it and not make it too similar. |

Here's my take. Using the palette analyzer for Grafx2 in DB's Toolbox, here's an analysis: 
Pros: You can get an okay greyscale using the blues and green, it's got a good red ramp, a decent blue ramp, a green ramp with the blue and yellow, a purple and a skin tone. Cons: Only one green, no pink (though this can be simulated using the red and darker orange) and no straight greys. Finally, here are remaps of other people's work in this palette. 
(Some Pocket Monsters by cure, the preview for Super Mario Bros HD by Jinn, Into The Deep by a3um, Vierbit's avatar, some Star Wars characters by ElectroNico, Fool's Find Waldo, NES Megaman Redo Mockup by Snake and The Legend of Iya Mockup 01 by DarkfalzX) |

Some experiment on my own stuff: 
edit: Thanks man! v(below) Quick sketches with the palette to show how colors can be used in different ways. The really thing here and about things I do as well is to use lots of black. 1)

Here is my simple effort, inspired by late Autumn and Winter. A darker but hopefully well balanced and versatile little number with a pastel finish...

As stated in the rules for the comp these palettes (or any palette) is not added to the gallery as standalone art because they are more of a tool/resource than pixelart. That's why it was sent back ;). |

Sorry for that, I have deleted the gallery entry, but can I assume my palette will be submitted here for the competition?

This one's a little experimental. It has two four-color ramps, one warm, one cold, with the remaining three colors used to bridge the two. This makes for some interesting shading/lighting possibilities.

Nice entry, BigPotato!
Similar to the concept I was shooting for but more deftly executed. Will have to toy around with this, looks versatile, if not a bit lacking in blues. |

Making the palette was both fun and difficult, I should try to do this more often.
A quick sketch to test the palette:

Work in progress. Will (probably) update it and make some pictures after Ludum Dare.
Also, funny thing. Last palette challenge was right after last year's april Ludum. So it's approximately one year since then. |

My palette:
 i'm bad at choosing colors, but anyways... also, i couldn't use the font silkscreen properly with 5 pixels on Graphics Gale, it just looked strange, but maybe that's just me |

DRZ11B, a more mellow, desaturated palette to cover the potential collab themes that my first palette doesn't cover :P
 The blue ramp can double as a grey ramp if some of the warmer colours are mixed well. Also, an update for DRZ11A:  (I just made the yellow darker) |

Think this'll be my last one. I was going for balance here. It's got a purple-blue-cyan ramp, a red-orange-yellow ramp, a green ramp that can double as a greyscale, a deep purple-brown, and a black.

Updating my previous submission:
Inspired by City in the Sky from Twilight Princess. Run through DB's analyzer (old version, so BG not excluded), mostly useful for colorspace metric and dithering examples. This palette is pretty versatile for its range, but that range is somewhat limited in application. Lack of reds, mostly; I've been having trouble altering the palette to include these while maintaining the verdant feeling of the palette as a whole. 
I'm curious of your impressions... Critique very welcome. |

My attempt! When I was browsing the ones that were already submitted I was wondering why they all seemed kinda similar. Turns out with 11 colors there are only so many things you can do to make the palette work. 
I aimed for a brighter more friendly palette, as lots of dark/low-sat ones have already been submitted. I built it up around three ramps. 
It ended up feeling (imo) somewhat similar to Dawnbringers palettes, which I guess is a good and a bad thing.  
Some quick sketches. |

No... but we sure do love them and they are so helpful come judging time. |
