What's your preferred color palette?
Hyouka was shit.
I like older 80's-90's-early 2000's shows which had strong colors. Everything seems so washed out nowadays

Whoop dee fucking doo, call me when they change in between episodes like in the best anime ever.
Tamako looked beautiful I'd probably pick that but they were all good for each respective show so its kinda eh choosing a single one.
>>142570531
That image actually lists my preferences in the right order. My favorite is the first and it gets worse the further down it goes.
These things >>142570604 are still better though, since same color palettes get boring after a while.
Top and bottom.
>>142570531
Don't really care for any of these palettes but if I had to pick then I'd probably go with Hibike's.
Personally, I really loved the dreamy pastels in Sailor Moon.
>>142570531

It's sad that KyoAni shows look nice but the writing or whatever they're adapting is so bland and boring.

Color palettes are used to keep consistency and unify the look of something, changing it defeats its main purpose. What you're thinking of with Tatami is the color rules/schemes it used, which were mostly monochromatic, analog and compound. Tatami's palette was always warm and earthly.

Each story deserves its own color palette clearly. Is someone going to make one for A-1? They almost always have heavily saturated colors.

>>142570531
Still regret not picking the colors from the character design sheets. Would have been much more accurate representation of the "neutral" color schemes.
For example the standard lighting/coloring of Hyouka is still warm and earthly, but much brighter than what is in that picture. Similar case with KnK which overall is quite pale when in 'casual lighting', but not so as much as this makes it out to be.
>>142571960

I just like whatever so long as it looks good. I don't get why one would have like, a preferred way for things to be coloured. Diversity is the spice of life and so on.

>>142572416
Still confusing palette with scheme for any given scene/episode with different moods, see >>142571491
A color palette is something more global, though that image in OP is not a good example I agree.
Here you can see how Tamako uses mostly pastel, welcoming color schemes as its palette.
>people still posting the kyoani meme

>>142570531
Hyouka and amagi.
>>142571997
Although the shows follow certain standards or rules in terms of color, every scene is going to be differently colored depending on the mood. In the character design sheets you see the local color, without extra shading and lighting that could change the colors.
When I did that pic I tried to take screenshots from casual scenes that would represent the overall color choices of the show the best, which was probably a mistake even if it got the general message across.

>>142573118
TLDR: cold blue/purpleish gradients
>>142573269
>>142573405
They gotta color each frame every time anyways. They just bucket tool in the flat colors, and then I suppose they add in the gradient overlay like you would with any painting software.
The gradients aren't that strong most of the time in the anime anyways so there's a lot of room for inaccuracy.
But for example with that witch with her strong gradients, I could see some inaccuracies when I went out and looked for them.
>>142573995
They actually bucket tool it in? Does that mean the key animation has to draw closed shapes? How does that work when it's not a closed shape?
>>142574206
Coloring softwares have features that when there are small gaps in the lineart, it'll recognize that its supposed to be a closed.
But yes, cleaned up lineart basically consist of closed loops that can just be filled in with a bucket tool.

I know no one gives a shit, but for me at least it's less about the palette and more about the density of the picture itself and the content.
I can't speak for everyone obviously and this could just be personal preference but a "busier" picture is harder to look at.

I knew of a dude that tried to lie his way into joining the military to become a pilot despite also having that same condition.
I'm curious about one thing. Can you diferentiate between the shades of grey enough to know which one is each of the colors people around you refer to them by, or are they not that distinct?

>I can't speak for everyone obviously and this could just be personal preference but a "busier" picture is harder to look at.
Color can make a busy image either better or worse, depending on how it's used. Something that's already busy can become even more chaotic and difficult to "read" or color can be used cleverly in a way that guides the eye to the important details. Generally speaking it helps more than it hurts by adding additional contrast, but busy still tends to be a product of bad composition either way. (That is to say, even if an image is detail dense, if it's well composed it shouldn't feel that busy when you look at it because your eye should be naturally lead to the important features of the image.)
>>142578226
Yeah it's monochrome now, and looks a hell lot more boring too
>>142570531
I want fucking shaking in anime again and character that actually look like people.
>>142578347

>>142570531
I cant fucking stand 'earthly colors' because my shitty monitor displays that shit as black and even darker shades of black
>>142570531
when you look at it like this, the only sensible answer is that it depends on the tone of the show. I really liked Hibiki and the colors were really comfy, but at the same time I can appreciate the use of bright colors to add to Amagi's theme park fun.
>>142578277
Making things monochrome always increases percieved contrast.
>>142578213
>I'm curious about one thing. Can you diferentiate between the shades of grey enough to know which one is each of the colors people around you refer to them by, or are they not that distinct?
Nope.
Well I can't at least; again this is opinion and I don't know any other monochrome people.
>I knew of a dude that tried to lie his way into joining the military to become a pilot despite also having that same condition.
This makes more sense than you'd think:
-I've been told this by friends and family, but when it isn't too bright outside I apparently have pretty sharp fucking vision on the basis that my sight focuses and prioritizes on SHAPE and LINE.
>>142578429
I might be misusing terms here, I'm trying to refer to the ability to differentiate objects from one another in this case, not just the raw difference in how bring and dark things are.

Yes. Very much so yes- 3d animated movies are killing me.
I don't mean the eye-popping ones, but actual 3d animation: everything has a tendancy to merge together like fucking mashed potatoes or something- I dunno, I'm not explaining it properly but it looks like shit. It's like watching clouds almost.
It's horrible.
Animation needs good contrasts, line work- especially heavy line work.
When they still did animation on film with all those heavy shadows, lines, lighting and so forth- it was great.
>>142570531
Amagi was a bit too saturated and cheap looking for me. I like the look of Hibike even though I prefer Amagi as a whole.

>>142578823
It's still possible to animation with rough lines and heavy shading, it just happens to no longer be "in style" these days.
>>142570531
Oh, right, shit- sorry let me answer this question:
Hyouka is the worst: It has a kind of soft blackness in the atmosphere and surrounding area of the image that removes the weight and border of other objects. It's almost like a black mist- it looks awful.
Hibiki is the second worst as it doesn't have enough contrasts- the shadows on the school uniforms kind of blend into one another making it difficult to discern depth and it has the same "misty" shadows, but not as bad as Hyouka.
KnK suffers from mild saturation, but it's bearable.
Amagi is okay.
Tamako is perfect: it has good contrast, it doesn't blur or spill over into one another and seems pretty contained to me for what it's worth. Tamako also has the largest palette of easily discernible grays.
>>142578732
>Do the greys change or does it look like nothing is going on?
It's just shifting greys and blacks.

>>142584587

>>142570531
It just depends on the type of anime
Hyouka's palette works because of it's tone and focus on characters talking and thinking over what's actually happening
Amagi works great with it's themepark setting and feeling of magic
Knk on the other hand made me want to barf because of its palette
