Color coordinating a pony Anonymous 04/20/2025 (Sun) 10:11:39 No. 25388
If you've ever designed a pony how do you go about choosing its colors? I know the show's official designs can be pretty all over the place with what colors they use and even the number of colors used (the name Technicolor Horse Show stuck for a reason), but individually they always have a sense of cohesion and not too much color contrast. The better designed OCs that I've seen also manage this and it's something I feel I need to get a better sense of. Also OC posting thread, if you want

>>27257 I did, that blue one up there is the palette, with >>26469 actually being my first attempt to reign in the colors from being so garishly bright. I do appreciate all the help and tools that have been posted

>>27286 You think you're smart, but other color space standards have very similar issues. For example, BT.2020 (the 4K standard) has exactly the same problem with dark colors: The blue primary is darker than the red primary is darker than the green primary. And the relativity of perceptual white is a fact about human vision that will never change.

>>25388 Personally, I do grayscale first, then I use oklch.com to find my colors based on the grayscale value. encycolorpedia.com is also a good resource.

Alright, I think I got some colors I'm satisfied with. It would just be a matter of deciding if I want the contrast stripe on the mane and tail, which would probably come down to how it looks with the saddle included. I also used the tools linked to pick out some eye colors.

>>27560 Your confusion will vanish if you read and understand a good textbook on the subject. I suggest: Fairchild, Mark D., Color Appearance Models, Third edition, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2013, ISBN 978-1-119-96703-3.
