ty I colored my avi with the crayon I think it's just a nub of a crayon now XD

....-squints- I mean, Faded Ink is /technically/ sort of blue :P

it is, in fact, the "blue" of that set. like the corals, faded is a complete rainbow, but less obviously so because low saturation turns many colors into brown.

just how i like them

Yeah, I know. Is the first faded brown (the one I'm wearing, I think) the "red", then?

it's uhhhh brown, red, orange, yellow (yes it looks like green barf), green, teal, purple, blue, then pink and orange from an entirely unrelated story

Oh okay so this one's actually just Faded brown.

...How in the world did the pink and orange happen?

EDIT: Did you like...desaturate Coral...

well

monmon was the one that made the new color gradients when we did that big update, right, and i asked for nice vibrant and unsaturated rainbows, which i got, but monmon was also inspired to do a sunset/sunrise thing?

well, she ended up making 2 different versions, and we both liked all 4 of the gradients, so we split them and put the lighter 2 in with the corals and the darker in with the fadeds. neither really fit with their sets, but it's close enough that no one questions it.

anyway, no, the corals and fadeds every shade were all lovingly made by hand and have completely differing hues.

I keep having to run through the shops and buy Faded and Coral items because the gradients are fucking fabulous.

corals are A+++ when it comes to testing layering before you blow money on the color you actually need.

Gizzie loves neons :)

How so?

an example of that i mean:

the wide variety of bright, easily visible colors makes it easy to see exactly how well things layer together. with a coral version of items you're likely to use, you can easily do quick checks to see if an item type will work in the way you want before you buy another copy in a color you actually need.

this is how i save aurum, layer testing before i spend

shit that's a really good idea

it's good for uhhh color balance testing too? like if you're trying to do a lot of layered things that go color 1, color 2, color 1, etc. just pick 2 of the coral colors to test with and you can see easily if the idea is flawed from the start.

Hm, that's a good point. WOuld probably be easier for me if I wasn't always low on Au.

yea probs. my invo is fierce, i'm at the point where i don't really gotta buy new shit unless i specifically wanna show off new shit.
