	Here's mine! I call it Knight14. As always I don't consider myself a goddess with colors, but I gave it my darnedest best. And I got a super rough and scratchy image as a quick test. Lol

	Hey everyone! I'm so glad to finally enter one of these contests since color palettes has been an obsession of mine for so long! So, after a ton of tweaking and different iterations here's my entry, which i called Shire-14. For this one i tried to make it as versatile as possible, while keeping the theme in mind and trying to offer the necessary grays and browns that i think are essential for the medieval setting. So first choices were a midtone brown (wood, wildlife, dirt, etc) and a multi-purpose dark brownish gray (to shade everything brown, but also armor, rocks, castle walls - aka, everything gray) and a lighter gray (as the go to color for rocks, armor, etc). And also a really dark blue (for your darkest desires ) and purple (for multi-purpose shading) as the darkest tones. Onto the water and grass with two shades of green and two more of blue, and those were the base colors for the theme. Then came a long process of iteration and trial an error to find the colors for the remaining spots. In the end, i settled with: - two midtone oranges: a red-ish one for blood and fire and whatnot; and a very versatile midtone yellowish orange that serves as a complement to a few of the others. For instance, it can be the lighter tone for wood texturing, the midtone for the fire, and the mid/dark tone for sand or gold. - a bright yellow (fire, sand and highlights); - a light yellowish beige (skin tones, clothing...) - a very bright (almost white) beige (for highlighting, snow, and pretty much everything white). While tweaking, i tried to make sure all colors worked well with one of the ISOCollabs that i think had the most similar elements to the medieval theme: the PrehISOria collab. So, here's the Shire-14 applied to it: This collab serves as a great example of how well the palette can portray most needed textures (rocks, grass, wood, wildlife, blood and fire and even sand and snow). Later on, as a stress test, i decided to apply it to some of vierbit's works: Although a lot of details got "lost in translation" (since vierbit used WAY more than 14 colors on each of these) i think the palette held itself really well considering the color count. Also tested it on one of fool's castles (because medieval) and came to the same conclusion: Again, a lot of details had to be sacrificed, but it still looks great for a 14 color drawing. So that's it! Hope you like it and sorry for the huge images! ~edited: changed description because bad english.

	Figured I'd give this a go. I'm gonna call it 'Trebuchet' I thought a dark palette would suit the medieval theme, but I also wanted it to be colorful and high contrast. Heres a little mockup I made to show different materials and lighting And here is a Dawnbringer analysis of the palette:
