Colours

Hi Everyone!

Over the last few days, I’ve been looking at colours. Specifically, I’ve been looking at colours I could use as part of my character designs. Starting out with hair colours, I created some colour bars for the four shades of natural hair; Brown, Blonde, Black, and Red. Some of them are quite surprising;

The black colour bar actually appears mostly blue, but thats due to how the eyes actually percieve colour. I couldn’t use black and greys, as they wouldn’t show up terribly well on 16-bit spritesheets. However, blues can appear to be black depending on the saturation.

The other three colour bars are fairly normal, although the upper end of the reds includes some yellow tinges.

Now, as this is going to be a JRPG, I could potentially explore more varied hair colours such as green and pink, but I’ll get to them in a bit. That’s it from be for now, but I’m hoping to have more soon. Until later!
