Hello everyone!
I'm coming out with a graphics project pretty soon for a popular text-based game. I'm planning on having the entire palette swap each season. Since there are hundreds of sprites to map, I wanted to make sure the colors were good before I proceeded. Can anyone give me advice on my season palettes? I feel content with fall, but uneasy about summer and winter. 
(spring, fall) (winter, summer) Thanks!! |

This is looking really cool so far!
I personally think winter already looks pretty nice? I tried a different color variant though just to see. As for summer, I think it's a lil' too close to spring. I tried making it a lil' bit more blue in tone just to differentiate it from spring 
I also tried an edit where I made spring a bit more yellow and summer just slightly blue. So the change in palette for summer isn't as drastic but still different enough from spring. 
Hope it helps! |

Thanks for your advice!I worked off your suggestion and tried to change summer and spring to be a bit different. I liked your idea of yellowing, so I applied it to summer so make it look a bit burnt out.
I think that helped set them apart a little more. Anything else to improve this? Here's an example of an in a building.

| Yeah it looks nice being more yellow-y. I'd keep your original summer color though, I think it compliments the new spring a bit better. But hey overall it looks great! |
