Date Posted: 23 November 2011 at 12:43pm
This comp is open to everyone and is quite simple. Submit your ultimate 20 color unique + original color palette.

These palettes are not to be considered art so no adding to your galleries. The winning palette will be used on PJs latest collab project 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.

Win a spiffy trophy + points which are rare and will look great in your profile.
+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, Jeremy, Reo, Delicious and jal along with some select PJ members. (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

Post your entry on this thread!!!
Comp closes Friday, December 2, 2011. (CLOSED)

here is mine.

Based on a ramp with some of my most liked colors from my regular artwork. (obviously i'm digging beige, or grey tones, this one contains a wide ramp of beige to brown)



They fade into the dark brown over to dark red. And contain a grey to neutralize.



Did a Colorspace Test. They lack of a really bright highlight color but i hope they can still offer depth and light.


Quick test:
hmmm.. need more contrast.. back to work i guess :)

This is my first time making a palette, so I hope it is original + unique (or even good at all). I went with a lot of purples, and a possibly daring range of saturation and values.



No examples right now, I'll try and whip something up though.

I lurv muted tones. And yet, I never seem to use 'em (or use 'em right) in my pieces.

I might work on it a bit more but I might as well post it before I get disinterested.

Really did my best on this one, perhaps my most balanced palet to date. Lets hope it gets some votes because the honourable mention award would look really good on my profile!

How do you all do those color reduction things with your palette? Or those really insightful saturation graphs?

Some very nice stuff already 
@ member_profile.asp?PF=22208&FID=1 - TropicalSnowcone , it takes a little time to add new entries.

@ member_profile.asp?PF=15427&FID=1 - Pandora'sSecret , Everyone has their own way to go about this. A simple way is to get any pixelart you've already made and change the colors to your pallete and see if it works. If your software can handle it take any image from google and outout image with a 20 color limit and then use your palette to test the image. That's what I think Jinn did above. What codewarrior and Dawnbringer do is handled with GraFXwhich is free and excellent software for pixelart. Give it a try.

@all, from now on if you see a Mod comment ending with
UPDATE
and your entry is above it but not added to judging post...then comment to let us know.


UPDATE!

here 2 color-tables in "addition" to nr.1.

Entry 2: hopefully more universal usable.



Entry 3: a x.mas-palette. since x-mas is soon to come you never know ^.-
(was trying a different method on that one..digging through x-mas images and tried to grab a range of the most appearing colors and fiddle that into a palette)



and i think now you're safe of further entries of me.

I think this one is pretty good.

And how do you get to the palette tests on Grafx2? I can't figure it out to save my life.


Posted By: codewarrior
Date Posted: 26 November 2011 at 11:25am
@mdog95:

Simple Instruction for you:

Download the scripts for it.
Here f.x.
http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12854&PID=150705 - Forumpost (dawnbringer)

Make sure you got the latest version of the programm. (he mentioned that some of them only work above 2.3 i think)

Run the Scripts: either start the main-script directly [see attached readme file, also for placement of the files] or rightclick the brushfactory in GrafX to open available scripts and localize the ones you want to use.

Logical: ensure that you open an image only containing the colors of your palette or define a transparency(if you dont want surrounding colors being analysed too. It falsyfies the all-over results, at least for palette-analysis purposes).

Reading the Results takes a bit of understanding for colors, hue, sat etc. But since everything is displayed in various ways (cube, color space views, brightness/darkness, closest colors, comparing etc) it should help you to understand when you inspect them.

Was actually using other methods before with custom scripts for Photoshop, but that lua-pack for GrafX and the included palettecheck and 3D palette animation is pretty sweet for that purpose too.

Hope this answer helped :]

Thanx codewarrior.

A few notes about the Grafx2 scripts/ToolBox:
* Some of my scripts are bundled with Grafx2, but you'll have to download the ToolBox.

* The scripts in the forum post should work ok, there's a newer version at my profile...but I made a mistake in that one (forgot to put things in a dir called "dawn"). I'll try to make an update soon.

* My analysis screen are usually a composition of the results from several scripts (Analyze, Polar Bri-Hue Diagrams, Draw Bri-Hue Diagram).

* Here's a http://goto.glocalnet.net/axe/dtb12/ - WIP Doc for the ToolBox

And yes as far as i gone through them the ones from the forumpost seem to work just fine with GX 2.4 :]

Looking forward to the update.

Okay, so i just figured out that my last palette was not al that good to actually work with.. haha, still like the colors though.

anyways, entry #2. Do you agree that it is much better? workable?
Still feels a bit too saturated on some colors.



Posted By: mdog95
Date Posted: 27 November 2011 at 7:52pm
No, it looks workable. the bright magenta doesn't seem like it would blend well with any of the other colors though.


Posted By: tanuki
Date Posted: 27 November 2011 at 10:32pm
It was a little frustrating to decide which colors to include and which to leave out. I think mostly because I want to be as inclusive as I can, but can only have a few representatives from each category of colors, and didn't want a category to have just one color in it. I think I'll make a second palette that's more theme based instead of trying to get as many different colors in as I could.



The goal here was to include good representation from as many major categories of color as possible with interconnected ramps. Depending on how you look at it there's 6 blues, 4-5 greens, 2-3 yellows, 3-4 reds/oranges, 5 browns, 6 greys, 1 black, and 2 whites. About 30-32 total using 20 colors.

When making this I set it up in a way where I could see every one of the 20 colors touching every other color to check for clashing colors. I was also focusing on taking the ramps as much as possible from near black to near white.

@tanuki; wow looks a lot like my rpg party palette. I like it, seems flexible. but I would saturate the gray ramp with some purple.


@bem; love the taste!


Posted By: tanuki
Date Posted: 28 November 2011 at 11:29am
I had gone back and forth between a warm tannish grey, this blue grey, and outright purple. The tannish one left the palette as a whole too warm, and the purple was too similar to blue for me to see much difference. Purple is a hard color for me to use. @_@

How are you guys naming your colors?


Posted By: tanuki
Date Posted: 30 November 2011 at 10:47am
Do you mean the numbers and letters above or below each color? That's the hexadecimal value for them. There's always 6 numbers/letters in hex when it's used for colors. The first two represent the R, or red, channel in RGB, the next two are the green channel, and the last two are blue. It's a way of writing the RGB value of a color using just 6 numbers/letters instead of at least 9, plus punctuation, like this- 123, 234, 132

Here's a handy RGB to Hex converter- http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm - LINK


If you mean a regular name, I like to call my colors things like "super blue" and "super red" etc.

I made another one which is more balanced than my previous one but lacks nearly perfect grays, so some things which are typically gray (rocks, statues, castles) would need to be improvised using other colors. :)

Worked on this one quite a bit. Lots of browns... also put in a magenta shading color as a kick. Not many purples on this one but otherwise I think it's pretty varied. I put in pinks for something a little different.




Some quick doodles and a couple recolors of a previous portrait:

How do I post an image?
Upload your image to an image host, like http://imageshack.us/ - ImageShack or http://tinypic.com/ - TinyPic , copy the direct link they give you, and paste that link into the image tool window on the posting form. Step-by-step instructions for doing this are coming soon.

If your browser has the WYSYWIG menu above the comment writing panel then hit the 'tree' icon and paste the direct link there.

Forum accepts html codes so manual [img] tags are cool too.

*I use imgur.com for image hosting and its great!

I kinda would like to try making a palette.  Christoballs, how could I use Dawnbringer's toolbox, and how does one interpret it?


Posted By: Christoballs
Date Posted: 01 December 2011 at 2:43pm
Well, you could check http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13422&PID=155474#155474 - codewarrior's post on the first page .
Dawnbringer has written some scripts for Grafx2, which you can download/install into the Gfx2 folder. Then when you open the program up, you right-click on the Brush Factory button, then choose the destination and run the desired script!
Check out this thread's first page for links posted, and DB's thread for more information.

As for interpreting the diagrams: I admit I don't know for sure what half of these are exactly for, but they do help me understand in more detail how my palette's working. They show the way brightness and hue is distributed on the colour spectrum in the palette, mostly.
What I do know is that if the colours in the second cube overlap, it means you can't tell them apart. You then change the hue and brightness to move it further in or out.
The best is to experiment yourself with various palettes and compare results (I had fun doing that with the palettes submitted here). You'd have to ask Dawnbringer or somebody with more knowledge in these things to know better!

One last thing: I don't think using these straight away is the way to go; there isn't that much time left so I suggest you scribble a quick palette up, do some quick roughs with your prototype and run the image through the scripts to see how you can improve it. My last test was to convert into my palette a series of pixel arts with a higher colour count, and tweak some more from there if necessary.

* You never want really big gaps in the brightness plotting line

* Try to spot colors that are redundantly similar, esp. in brightness. (however, if they are very different in Hue they could still be fine)

* A balanced palette shouldn't have unproportionally large or small areas (colors) in the top left Bri-Hue diagrams (see how even the C64 palette is distributed). However a low-saturation color could be multi-purpose and allowed to cover pretty a good area. Use with judgement; f.ex a high-saturation color wouldn't be expected to be present or cover an equally large area in a diagram for colors of lower saturation, etc. etc.

* The Grayscale / Bri-weight diagram is one of my favourite tools: it allows you to map you colors ability to double as a grayscales. (Starting on the left side with basic colormatching, ramping to right where colormatching is done only by brightness-level.

All good things are three, so here's my third one. This time I used a color wheel to develop the shades, starting with flat grays and some red, green, blue colors and then mixed and tweaked everything until it seemed nicely balanced.



Test and the above mentioned color wheel:

I had time to make another palette. My first one was a bit specialized, this one is more general. It could handle almost anything I threw at it!

I felt my lack of a good peach skin color was a problem. Sorry, it's my first shot at making a palette : D  Would this palette be a small improvement over my original?

Nice tones in your palette Frost Butt.  Super high contrast though.  A couple more darker/mid tones would make this really nice.  I'm missing a 2nd good flesh tone in my palette, but we have no idea what the callab will be focused on, so this might be perfect.  Who knows?

Hey guys, really last minute to post it, I know, but here is mine.
Not very spread out as far as the color spectrum but it's good for its intended use that I had in my mind.

Well here is my cartoony color pallet. Still have a lot to learn though, but that thumbs up trophy will look nice next to all those green ribbons :p
 
And a few example I made. Mostly plantlife but whatevers. Also didn't use all the colors, I'll make one with all the colors soon.
The mushroom is from another piece of mine, but with slightly altered colors.

Hey, I almost forgot about this! :S



Why does this seem more difficult than the 16-color palette?

I just hope I don't get the same award than last year! XD

I agree with you.  Maybe the thought is to make it fit in with all the styles of all the participants of the collab.  It really makes you think about the palette as a whole with the extra colors.
Nice palette.  The sky blue, orange, and pink is very Manupix of you.

Thanks to everyone for submitting great looking and quality palettes (37).

Special mention goes out to ../p/20306.htm - dpixel and ../p/15535.htm - Pandora'sSecret for demonstrating how much they have learned about color selection and, ../p/33769.htm - Frost Butt for such extra effort on his entry.
