#color palette trend

I think 90% of my gripes with how modern anime looks comes down to flat color design/palettes.

Non-cohesive, washed-out color palettes can destroy lineart quality. I see this all the time when comparing an anime's lineart/layout to its colored/post-processed final product and it's heartbreaking. Compare this pre-color vs. final frame from Dungeon Meshi's OP.

So much sharpness and detail and weight gets washed out and flattened by 'meh' color design. I LOVE the flow and thickness and shadows in the fabrics on the left. The white against pastel really brings it out. Check out all the detail in their hair, the highlights in Rin's, the different hues to denote hair color, the blue tint in the clothes' shadows, and how all of that just gets... lost. It works, but it's not particularly good and does a disservice to the line-artist.

I'm using Dungeon Meshi as an example not because it's bad, I'm just especially disappointed because this is Studio Trigger we're talking about. The character animation is fantastic, but the color design is usually much more exciting. We're not seeing Trigger at their full potential, so I'm focusing on them.

Here's a very quick and messy color correct. Not meant to be taken seriously, just to provide comparison to see why colors can feel "washed out." Top is edit, bottom is original.

You can really see how desaturated and "white fluorescent lighting" the original color palettes are.

[Remember: the easiest way to make your colors more lively is to choose a warm or cool tint. From there, you can play around with bringing out complementary colors for a cohesive palette (I warmed Marcille's skintone and hair but made sure to bring out her deep blue clothes). Avoid using too many blend mode layers; hand-picking colors will really help you build your innate color sense and find a color style. Try using saturated colors in unexpected places! If you're coloring a night scene, try using deep blues or greens or magentas. You see these deep colors used all the time in older anime because they couldn't rely on a lightness scale to make colors darker, they had to use darker paints with specific hues. Don't overthink it, simpler is better!]

Glass Gem Corn seeds color wheel

(the set from my Pantone color matches)

When I found out about this fascinating corn variety a couple of years ago, I’ve been wanting to take color match photos of the stunning multicolor kernels.

Its origin traces back to Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer living in Oklahoma. Barnes had an uncanny knack for corn breeding. More specifically, he excelled at selecting and saving seed from those cobs that exhibited vivid, translucent colors. After many years, his painstaking efforts created this wondrous corn cultivar called Glass Gem Corn.

So glad I’m finally able to match their colors! See my page to see the Pantone color matches 😊

Ironic how the least high fashion and out of place fit of the lux couture line is the one the fandom likes the most

Starting a new color palette trend where people can just,, screenshot a color palette (not a photo, an actual palette, mind you) and then put them in your inbox along with a prompt. No ‘ask meme’ with a few palettes listed, people can just find them on Pinterest or @color-palettes. Go wild, pass it on.

Is Ariem confirmed to be a female ram? I see ppl calling them a ram (and also she even tho I don't remember them being referred to with any pronouns in promotional material) I mean they look like a ram but idk if that's what they are canonically

If that's true then. Ariem transgender??

easily the most annoying thing about beethoven 9 is that the finale really actually is as good as everyone makes it out to be.

Spring-Summer 2024 trends

This season, it would seem that youth and adult age are talking the same visual language when it comes to trends.

Two of the most noticeable trends seen were, in fact, the continuity of previous cultural movements. The first is Soft Romantism, a softened, more casual, and more grown-up approach to pastel and earthy trends such as Coquette, Soft Girl and Cottagecore. Do not hesitate to try a Victorian or Edwardian blouse, or a large straw hat. The second is a logical transition between extreme Minimalism and the new Maximalism trend… without throwing everything into the garbage container. Clearly, a smooth, budget-friendly transition will be required for most people.

The main colour palette is comprised of peach or abricot, with soft pastel green and a light blue.

Finally, when it comes to makeup, focus on enhancing the eyes. Draw attention and light to the inner corner of the eyes, add pink eyeshadow, and finish the curves of the eyes with drama by adding long half falsies, for a slightly retro screen siren look.

In any case, is is true that this year seems to mark the end of brutal Minimalism. Embrace the change!
