Tips for Creating a Color Palette

Creating a nice colour palette is crucial for creating harmonious art. Here are a few tips I utilise when creating a color palette.

Limit your number of colors. It'southward tempting to utilize the entire selection of swatches in each palette, merely using fewer colors tin look better.
I typically showtime with 2-four primary colors. This colour palette utilizes cherry-red, bluish and green.
Add a mid-tone (the main color in this instance), a darker selection and a lighter selection.
Don't forget virtually neutrals. I added creams and browns for my neutrals in this color palette.
The master colors should have the aforementioned tone. Utilize the harmony tool for this if you lot're unsure of how to select colors with the aforementioned tone.
Laying your colors out in swatch format can be a neat way if seeing at a glance that your colors work together well. For example, when I first started, I was my dark green was too like to my mid green. Changing the saturation gave me a amend mix of colors.
