I am, unfortunately, a bit late for the "rain-themed" contest, I kept meaning to get this put together and uploaded but just kept putting it off. Now it is way too late for that of course, but I still want to share it anyway.
Weather is a bit of a passion of mine, the primary avatar for I've made for myself was designed around the concept of being weather-themed even. I've had several weather colors that I've allocated for use with that character for a while now, but I haven't shared them before now. In this pallette, however, I've not only included my most commonly used colors but also expanded it to incorporate EVEN more weather-related colors.
Most of what is in this pallette is obviously going to be cyans and greys/grays or some combination there-of. But I did make sure to incorporate more than just those as well, as weather comes in literally all the visible colors of the light spectrum (thanks rainbows!)
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be very helpful to include EVERY color available, so instead I paired it down to more or less just a few variants of each major category of color where the rainbow is concerned. That said, the colors of lightning cover even more of that light spectrum, and of course the colors can be mixed and matched.
I have labelled each section and broken them up so that each weather-phenomenon can be easily located by its grouping of colors.
Included are:
- Black and White (Just good to have on any pallette in my opinion!)
- Fog
- Mist
- Cloud
- Tornado (Could be used for wind generically too!)
- Snow
- Ice
- Rain
- Flood (Also useful for puddles or a lahar)
- Mud
- Pool Water (Not weather, but still wet!)
- Water (Just a generic pallette that can be used for pretty much any basic-bluish body of water.)
- Lightning (Comes in MANY different colors so I broke it up a bit more than the other categories.)
- Day Sky
- Twilight Sky
- Night Sky
- Rainbow (It's not just the basic seven colors!)
Anyway, have fun with this, and I hope it helps your workflow, I know having it all organized like this is certainly going to help mine!
