1) Natural Light and Shadow Light have very little contrast on a CRT.
Maybe look at
2) The transition from Natural Medium to Natural Dark is IMHO too big
I decreased the brightness on Natural Light and Natural Medium. This
should fix both of those issues.
3) The palette seems poor in green hues.
Hmm.. how's this for an idea:
...
If you add another greyscale to Natural and Shadow you'll have a third
triple.
If you add another line to Wheat and Cardboard that'll form a triple.
I'm thinking maybe Earth with richer tones.
Then we add two lines to Herb to give us a rich set of green hues.
Great ideas!
I basically stole the Earth colors you sent, with a slight saturation
decrease to Earth Light.
Yup, that works. It was a little too saturated compared to other Light
variations.
I added the two greens: Algae and Moss. The green triplets work like so:
Herb is the closest to a "true" green, with Algae pushed more towards
blue and Moss decidedly yellow. I think that gives us a better rounding
out of hues than the version that you sent over, which felt very blue
focused.
Well, those weren't really suggestions so much as indicators of what I was on
about. I really like what you've come up with. Both my green lines seem to be
on the track to Algae which is bluer and visually "richer".
You've adjusted Herb Light nicely. I didn't think it fit too well before. The
new hue is a great choice.
The only thing I see is that if you exchange Algae and Moss that'd fit the
other triples which are kind-of light to dark down the line (but green is
reversed).
With the grayscale, I kept Glare, but it is used instead as a light cool
(blue) gray, and kept Natural as a light/medium warm (brown) gray.
Shadow is still a medium/dark "pure" gray.
Yes, I see. Neat.
I'm really happy with where the palette is now! Thanks for all your
suggestions!
You're very welcome. I'm really happy with the palette, too. You've done a very
nice job.
Regards,
Sheldon
