This contest is open to everyone and is quite simple. Submit your ultimate 16 color unique + original color palette.

These palettes are not to be considered art so no adding to your galleries. This palette will be used to launch a new PJ project on Sept, 12 so if you make 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.

*Its best to assume that other's may use your palette so by entering you are giving permission to all.

Why bother entering? Well we have these 'spiffy' trophies + points which are rare and will look great in your profile. Look how beautiful they are :)
+1000 Pts-1st Place+500 Pts-2nd Place +250 Points-3rd Place+100 Pts-Honorable Mention

*only 1 honorable mention will be given for this contest but its the best looking one so trying to get that one is a mini-goal on its own

Judging will be held by your PJ Mods - Pie, cure, Hatch, ska, B.O.B. and jal (You may comment on your fave palettes and sway the vote)

Winning palettes will be picked on the basis of how it would work on the project theme, which will be kept a mystery for this contest to participants. A unique + original palette is the goal but a well balanced palette is important too.

Use this template for your submission.
You must name the HEX values and NO black - 000000 or white - FFFFFF

Also, in an attempt to sway the vote, and because I was bored :

(I realize I don't have to post artwork, but I didn't see anything that said I couldn't...)

May we use a palette we've already used for any of our pieces?

You download Photoshop on piratebay.

And sounds fun... I should give it a try.

I have a BMP2Hex program I wrote a while back if anyone wants to use that.

http://bazosoft.dyndns.org/yow/BMP2Hex.exe

Just drag and drop a BMP image onto the program and it will show you the unique colours in the image, with their hex values along-side.

Note: Might crash if its not a BMP.

Well this is a sample of Jinn's in the checker. It shows HEX on the color itself. What donkey are you trying to pin?

@shampoop, any chance you can use the template? No biggie... I'm just afraid of everyone going wild with variations and then trying to sort it all out.

I was playing around with my pallete, it was pretty fun!
Is there anywhere I can show what I made besides my gallery?

Edited by Jinn - 03 September 2010 at 4:06pm

Not a big thing... Just to test.



I didn't use all the colors tho.


Edited by Jinn - 03 September 2010 at 4:07pm

heres mine

mine!

I love this pelette lottery :D
If I had to submit just one palette I choose the first one...

Alright, this is making a lot more sense now, thanks. I may or not throw something together for this.

Edit: Does this mean if we pixel something to test out the palette and make adjustments, we should keep it a secret until after this comp/whatever is over?

I'm not sure if I should post this or not as this is basically just a subset of

But those little numbers in the template just needed to be used for 6 letter words

Here's my palette, specially selected from an ongoing pixel project.

For the curious, it's an entire set of Touhou-themed illustrations.
And the extra curious, all colors are based off the RGB transcribed version of the (less than) 56-color NES palette.
An NES Touhou Project project. How original.

This project used a kit of may 3-color palettes, so here is a selection specially for this event. Lots of gray to cheat around.

Partly inspired by my Copic set. In fact, the NES palette reminds me of Copic markers. It could have been inspired by those deeply saturated markers. Wait, how long has Copic been in market?

Extra points for those who correctly guess which Touhou the above palette came from.

This palette is based on the wonderful effect called cross processing (or xpro) that is "the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film".

If you want to know more about this great processing method you can always check the wiki AND if you want to see some examples of xpro, you can check out my gf's photostream @ flickr.

Also, this may help to view the palette in a different way: alternative view

Great contest, have fun guys :)

Presenting: Dr D's Global 16 Color Palette!



Believe it or not, a lot of work went into this palette, I actually did my research. There should be a color for just about everything. Lots of ramps.

The red is a bit stark, but I feel it can be used better that way.

Hope someone uses this. :)

Not only do I believe it, I respect, admire and can see your palette is more than it appears without my own research just by looking at it, kudos my friend

@green, I say that because PJ has its share of 'doller' types and they WILL jump out of your screen and beat you if you even as much as think of touching the colors they created and forever own. You have obviously never dealt with an angry doller.*

*Of course, a doller wouldn't read the rule that say its for sharing cuz they see everything too rosy... btw, I like dollers, I just fear them and their wrath
