Fantasy Hair Color Palette: Triad System

Hello, everyone!

I noticed a lack of specific palettes for fantasy hair colors, so I developed this set to streamline the character design process. This palette is organized into triads (groups of 3 colors), utilizing the following logic:

  • 2 Analogous Colors: For blending and depth.

  • 1 Contrast Color: For dynamic highlights, streaks, or accessories.

Workflow Suggestions:
  1. Base Layer: Use the mid-tone analogous color for your flat shapes.

  2. Shading: On a 'Normal' layer above the flat colors, apply the darker analogous shade to define volume.

  3. Lighting/FX: Use the contrast color on a 'Hard Light' or 'Overlay' layer for vibrant lighting.

  4. Accents: Alternatively, use the contrast color on a 'Normal' layer for multi-colored hair streaks or hair accessories to ensure visual harmony.
