What people think when I say I have aphantasia: hehe I can't see a spinning cow ><

What really happens: staring at a color picker for 30 minutes because I know the VIBE of the color i want for my oc but I cant actually see jt in my head so I need to play around with it until I find it

Color Monologue

Because color is one of my obsessions, I figured I’d share this. It’s nice to have names for the colors we don’t often have words to describe.

Below are some charts for examples, followed by a personal monologue.

List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes

(If you can distinguish between these shades of black, let me know…. I can’t! Lol)

Finding My Favorite Color

Spoiler alert: It’s #E0EE00

Their “summary” color charts don’t include my favorite color, so I went into their more in-depth lists and found Bitter Lemon, which I think is about right. Actually, this “traditional” Chartreuse is likely closer:

My Favorite Color is an Experience

When people ask me what my favorite color is, I may come off as ridiculous when I respond “the color of new spring leaves when sunlight shines through them,” but it’s really the truth.

I care a lot about that exact sensation. It’s very captivating to me. I don’t even have to get on a plane to witness it. I can just go down the street or to a local park.

The experience of standing under a tree and gazing up through its branches is enchanting, and this array of color tones glows around me and inside of me. The below image kind of communicates this idea.

I particularly like the yellower green, right where the sun hits the leaves. Source

The term “chartreuse” is still inexact because the examples provided are usually not yellow enough.

This next pic is just for fun:

Using a Color Picker to Find My Favorite Color

Here are some more examples of my favorite color.

Color Picker Source I’m aware these are multiple shades, but oh well. I’m searching.

Sometimes I feel like I get to my favorite color fastest if I go to yellow first, then darken it a little.

Funny how this color now looks worse as I place it against the dark background of Tumblr. In fact, it looks like boogers and I don’t like it as much at all.

The hex code “E0EE00” is really satisfying. Old Macdonald had a farm, E-0, E-E, 0-0…..

I think I’ll settle there for now.

Clothing With (Almost) My Favorite Color

It’s very, very difficult and rare to find clothing in my favorite color.

Is Chartreuse Green or Yellow?

(and who cares?)

Sometimes I wear a sweater from F21 that is pretty close to my favorite color, and people compliment me on my “yellow sweater,” at which I am always amused. To me, the sweater is green. So I have fun randomly asking people if they think the sweater is yellow or green. I just like to see which one they say. There are no wrong answers. I, too, remain uncertain as to which general category my favorite color inhabits. Relatedly, “Chartreuse” falls under “Green,” while “Chartreuse (traditional)” falls under “Yellow” on the first website I linked, List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes. (Their version of “Chartreuse” I do not like at all. It is way too blue-green and not yellow at all.) Well, It’s a good thing that the determination of whether this shade is “yellow” or “green" is not particularly important one way or the other, because if people cared about this, I do think they’d never come to a consensus.

Clothing Website Color Pickers

I do, however, wish clothing websites would recognize “chartreuse” in a keyword search or have a more intelligent color picker when filtering results. It would not be too hard to code a tool that analyzes each clothing image and provides 10-20 color names depending on the hex codes it picks up. One could build in a “margin of error” where hex codes that are within a few degrees of variation are also included under those names. So the user could actually use a color picker (or a longer selection of specific colors, at least) to filter by color, and all matching or near-matching clothes would be included in the results.

Thanks for coming to my color monologue!

WE ALMOST HAVE THE COLOR WHEEL THING FIGURED OUT

YIPPIE! (by we I mean person, with help from our buddy pepii!) sincerely, we'd probably actually have an update by now if color wheels werent this apparently difficult <3 So he's planning on making a dev log so theres actually a tutorial out there on how to do this because we couldn't just like, find one and its been rough! We think most people probably are just downloading pre-made color wheels instead of trying to reverse engineer one, but not all developers want to do that so we're hoping this will be a fun way to give back to the community of amazing developers we've been crawling to for help <3 yippieeeee

this is my bbg from clip studio paint

you double click the little squares (the white and brownish ones in the bottom corner) and it pops up

huge space to get specific shades

also these approximate and intermediate things you can find in the "window" section on csp are pretty helpful

feel free to mention what program(s) you use as well. of course not every program gives you a choice on what shape it is, but i find it interesting what people are more used to/prefer when given the choice

[pickerwheelpolls]

You can only wear the two randomly assigned colors* for the rest of your life, ( trying to wear any other colors the items will change to one of the two other colors) how do you feel?

*Different tones/shades of the randomly chosen colors are allowed. Pastel, neon, etc. will also fall under the base color and are therefore allowed.

Spin the wheel to find out which colors you must wear

I GOT A TREAT

color picking blobs! an array of select colors in different hues and shades for those who may struggle with normal color picking for any reason.

-adjusted for standard coloring; reduced saturation and no use of pure black or white.

also heres different hues of black and white

how to use:

pick the color you want from the blobs, which range in hue, tint, and darkness. this is up to your preference. none of the colors are oversaturated. you can create shade by shifting the color slightly right and down and create lighting by shifting left and up.

there is no mute colors, but you can put a filter on them and decrease the saturation or even change the colors to create a new color palette if you want.

flesh blob might be slightly more complicated but im like 98% sure every skin tone in in there. you can create blush by slightly going to the right and down.

grey scale is simply shades of grey with slight color tints. it’s usually preferred in art to have a slight color tint to your greys singe pure black or white isnt preferred as well

black and white circles are shades of black and white with slight color tints. basically the opposite ends on the greyscale. i separated them to color pick from them easier.
