Colours on Time: stronger schemes, fewer headaches
summary
Shows a concrete pipeline that cuts concept and asset color time by “several hours” on a 28‑card flat‑shade project (Fox and Shadow): build palettes grouped by value and color family, map colors to gray values first, iterate on thumbnails, then transfer with one shadow-or-light layer and targeted fixes. Uses timelapses, screenshots and digital tools—Color Balance/Hue‑Saturation modifiers and layer effects—to produce useful accidentals, troubleshoot by checking grayscale values, and scale thumbnails into final assets reliably.
