Harmony uses palettes to hold all the colours needed to paint your elements, allowing complete control and consistency in the painting process.Ī palette is created by assigning a set of colours to each character, prop or effect. Multiple artists can use the same colour palette and produce the same results.Standardization and colour consistency throughout the production.You cannot accidentally use a colour which is not in the master palette.Each character consistently retains their dedicated colours.Using a master colour palette has many benefits, including: Each swatch stores a colour in precise levels of red, green, blue and opacity (the latter which is referred to as alpha). Master palettes contain a colour swatch for each area to colour. In order to maintain absolute consistency, a base colour palette should be created for each character, prop and effect in the production. In animation, specific colours are used to paint each part of each character. Likewise, it is possible to create drawing layers with bitmap line art and vector colour art, all with the same palettes -see About Art Layers and Creating Colour Art from Line Art It is also possible to use colour swatches from palettes in bitmap drawings, although changing the colours in the palettes will not automatically update colours used in bitmap layers. Using palettes linked to your character in this way allows you to instantly change its colouring to suit the mood and atmosphere of the scene without having to repaint each element. For instance, in addition to the regular palette for a character, you could have one for that character in the rain using colours that are duller and less vibrant than the dry daytime colours, or yet another for using in a night scene. This way, you can change the look of your character at any time without having to repaint it!Īnother advantage of this system is that you can create complete palettes for different lighting situations. The colour swatch has a unique ID number that associates it with the painted zones. When you modify the colour of an existing swatch, it automatically updates all the zones painted with this swatch throughout the entire scene. You can also rename them and modify existing ones. You can add as many swatches as you want. In the Colour view, you choose a different colour swatch for each colour you want to paint in your drawing. Whereas some other software only allow users to work with one colour swatch at a time, painting in Harmony is done by using palettes containing multiple colour swatches that can be saved and reused as needed. Toon Boom Harmony has some very powerful painting features to add colour to your drawings.
