Tacheyon Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I am assuming that B&W grey scale is out of contention? As we already had that contest a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although complementary, triadic and other colors can be added as a minor accent. That being said, I did not know this page on the wiki existed and I am happy that you led me to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct! The costumes can be one or more shades of your chosen one color. So if you chose Yellow, you could incorporate bright yellow, golden yellow, dark brownish yellow, etc. Any accent colors should be VERY minor, there for added creativity, and to enhance your main color.

Shocktacular Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) ... I don't know if I'm psychologically capable of making a costume that qualifies. Single-color costumes (even with different shades) tend to look really, really boring/ugly to me. I checked through my characters yesterday and I have one that would maybe qualify for this. ... talk about a challenge... 😄 Edited January 11, 2021 by Shocktacular 2 Want more from Praetoria? Check out my level 40+ Praetoria missions in AE! I've got 3 complete arcs so far. Praetorians can get to AE in Pocket D by going through Studio 55.

The Peacock Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yeah, I feel the exact same way. And like you, I recognize that this might be a real challenge. I'm curious to see how people make it work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure I would just make a new one based on a build I'd like to try out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaipto Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I assume skin color and hair color are omitted from the color requirements? Just costume pieces themselves that need to adhere to the color limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Game Master GM Kaiju Posted January 17, 2021 Author Lead Game Master Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) For skin and hair, as long as they are normal human shades then yes they don't break your theme. If they are colors other than a shade of your theme, then they fall under the accent color guidelines.

leiter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Are white and black permissible, as the extreme ends of any shade? I could have a blue so dark it's black, or so light it's white. Or would that require choosing grey as your focus color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Game Master GM Kaiju Posted January 19, 2021 Author Lead Game Master Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Please reserve black and white for their respective themes or minor accents. Most colors have very light and very dark shades that should work as the ends of their spectrum. Edited January 20, 2021 by GM Kaiju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Game Master GM Kaiju Posted January 20, 2021 Author Lead Game Master Share Posted January 20, 2021 GM Korvin suggested the link below as guidance. The "Monochromatic" option of the color wheel is what we are going for. Any non-theme color should be a very small element (belt, eyes, lapel symbol, etc.) or a non-editable portion of a costume piece. https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you're including costume pieces that glow, the difference between the darkest shade in a row and the glowing lightest/brightest can make them look like completely different colors.

krj12 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I have a character that I consider to be "gold" colored, I used parts of the two yellow rows for coloring. Really not sure if this falls under mono-chromatic or not. This whole thing seems kind of vague... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead Game Master GM Kaiju Posted January 21, 2021 Author Lead Game Master Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! Lots of questions so hopefully I can help explain. You can choose color hues from different rows on the costume creator as long as you can look at the costume and instantly understand what the single color theme is, and without a secondary color confusing that theme. To help illustrate, here are several examples from our past costume contests that happen to work for this contest. I’m not saying these are guaranteed winners, but just that they fit the color theory theme: The one below is a good example of a minor accent color, with the red glow on a black theme: This one is hard to see, but assume it’s all shades of blue with no true black used: Another good example of a minor accent color: Hope this helps!
