Solstice Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've been doing pixel art for quite a while for a multitude of purposes and have recently decided to finally learn the hue shifting technique as I'd like to create a colour palette for my project, this is because we have multiple artists working together, I want to create a harmonic palette that can be used through the entire game unifying the game and artificially forcing the artist's individual styles together.I can't however do it. I've read multiple tutorials on the topic, even watching a video of it in action, and I still can't wrap my head around how it's actually achieved. What values have to be changed and how much should they be changed by to retain the harmonic effect? Also, what would a good number of colours be? I was thinking 9 different colours for every base colour, to allow for artistic complexity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just read it, but like one of the replies said, it doesn't follow a defined standard for changing the colours, like how much should each shade be changed from the previous shade?

boyesjs03 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This is a matter of opinion, you should change it to suit your tastes, this is why there is no set amount. Plus, yes around nine colours is good :-) Dont want to over do it xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkanan Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I prefer palettes of 3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't know anything about colour theory which I was why I made a resource request for a colour palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkanan Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 If you're requesting resource, Q&A is the wrong board. Want me to move the topic to request resources?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
