#color choices

how do you choose your palettes! something about your use of colours is so pleasing to the eye...

Thanks for you kind words! I also try to give a really good answer, but the tldr would be that I often just browse on Lospec and click the random palette button a few times, haha. When I do this I always try to figure out what kind of challenge is behind a palette (for example a high color contrast, or a very soft contrast, not many colors, or a lot of colors in the same family) before I start. It already gives you an idea what's the mood your motive will reflect or what techniques you will need to bring to the table (Clustering, AA, dithering...). It's a super good practice and honestly, not coming up with your own palette can save you a lot of time. I sometimes make my own palettes, but very rarely if I need to be done in a short time frame.

I tink I initially stumbled over both in Aseprite, but the Colorpalette I use the most for years now (and the one that I use for my City Tilesets) is a combinaton of Eroge Copper and Copper Tech, which looks like this:

What I love about this selection of colors is, that it has a lot of muted ones and just some that are very full and bangers, like the red and the deep blue and the green! Very nice for highlights! A lot of allrounder palettes have often much more colors, which makes it often hard to choose or basically only have vibrant colors, which is fresh and awesome but often makes everything a very wild colorful mix. Just makes for a very good base to have a bunch of soft brown and yellowish tones that melt together~ My last work with the cafe scenario also has a cool combination of blues and yellows, that are like the primary tone of the scene and then some details in the very intense red (for the open sign and the dogs food). Quantity contrasts (besides complementary contrasts) are so good! The only thing that kinda goes off the rails is the green of the street lantern, but otherwise the street would be very empty, haha.

A new tool I'm occasionally using is this Color Contrast Tool for when I try to find the right contrast for special colors.

Sorry, I'm rambling a lot! I have to admit a lot of my decisions are gut feelings, but basically search for a palette that goes in a very specific or interesting direction and provides a clear challenge, then while working figure out what are the strong suits of what you are doing (can be color contrast or light dark ect), figure out what underlying technique is the most fitting and then dive full in!

Wall cladding vs Painting

Wall Cladding

In a comparison of wood wall cladding vs painting within interior design applications, several factors come into play. Wall cladding, particularly with wood works, offers a timeless aesthetic appeal, providing warmth, texture and natural beauty to interior spaces. While it adds depth and character, the various options like shiplap, tongue and groove or reclaimed wood cater to different design styles. However, wall cladding typically requires a higher upfront investment and ongoing maintenance. In other words it is not considered cheap although it offers excellent durability and insulation properties.

Painting

On the other hand, painting provides versatility in color choices and finishes. in this case, it allows for quick and budget-friendly updates to refresh or transform interior environments. Interior painting offers flexibility in changing color schemes with ease while being applied to various surfaces. This makes it accessible for both DIY projects and professional mega projects.

Comparison: Wall cladding vs Painting

While painting may require more frequent maintenance and lack the natural charm of wood wall cladding, it provides an affordable and customizable option for achieving desired aesthetic outcomes in interior design.

Ultimately, the choice between wall cladding and painting depends on individual preferences, design goals, and practical considerations, with both options offering unique benefits and opportunities for creative expression in interior spaces.

Note of warning/notice

Hello one and all fellow humans.

Since it's time that many people celebrate many different holidays, I wanted to give y'all a heads up to make things easier on some of us who have sight issues, and specifically depending on certain shades of colors of the season (yes, I'm referring to reds and greens).

I am one of the VERY few women (about 0.5 percent) who is color blind, and especially to certain shades of reds and greens together. Not only does it make it near impossible to definitely impossible to read something, I can only see one of the colors - generally the green.

If a BRIGHT green background is used with a red that is either THIN script or small print, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT IS RED!!!! And I constantly have to remind my own mother of this fact this time of year too, so it's not just here that it happens.

This is to help show you what colors I'm referring to when I talk about bright green and thin red text. I had to type it in black first so that I would know I had typed something, because as I sit here looking at it I don't see anything but the green.

I love y'all SO BIG (😁😁🥰😍❤️) and just wanted to let some of you maybe understand why some of us may not be interacting with your page right now.

And yes, I do know that the world doesn't revolve around me...but as an educator (8th Grade Science) I wanted to help y'all get an understanding of how some of the choices we make effect others that we may not even have thought about.

Now, back to all holiday and relaxing festivities are in order.

🥰😍❤️
