Hi all,
Was trying to work on my color selection and was reading through this thread : http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10695


I have some questions :

Referring to a color ramp created by Kaiseto to help in his explanation ( Because i think it is the easiest to understand ) :

1. Is the idea here to save on colors by having some colors share the darker shades ? In this case all colors sharing the same darker shade. ( As Kaiseto said, as we go darker from any color, we desaturate and move towards the purple hue ).



2. I don't really understand the neutralizing of colors,  Is the idea here trying to reduce on colors by replacing a shade of a certain color in one ramp with something of the same shade from the neutral ramp ?

*EDIT

I think this is the case as shown by cure in his tutorial at
http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299




3. I see that some WIPs have the color ramp displayed on them, is this done by a specific software? or do you guys manually paint circles and squares.


Thanks in advance

Thx man for the reply.
I guess it'll take me a while to understand all this ( Especially about the use of neutralizing colors )
