Help!! Which colour scheme should I use?

#1 Post by champignonkinoko »

So I have been colouring character sprites for this VN here: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 43&t=28885

And I'm torn between two colour schemes!

Can you guys help me vote? The girl on left or girl on right?
I'm an amateur in colouring, I'm not even sure how to construct color schemes, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I think the color scheme on the right looks the best ^-^

Girl on the left.
Some of my visual novels are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. They are NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

Depends what you are going for.

I like the way the hair is high-lighted on the left, and the detail on the character on the left. I like the overall design of the girl on the right more, since it feels like it's easier to see the whole image, which would be great if you were making this for mobile. The colors for the girl on the left are easier on the eyes. I think cyan and white is pretty tough for color blind people.

If you are looking for an idea of what colors look good together, this site might help: http://www.colorhexa.com/ Put in the hex value, and it will give you all sorts of info.

I like the one on the right, too.
The colors of the girl on the left is a bit saturated. My eyes gets tired when I'm looking at it for more than a few seconds ^^;

Thanks guys! Looks like it's a clear win for girl on right (Iris). Personally I liked the colours for girl on left (Estelle) more, but she doesn't fit with the rest of the characters. It's kind of sad for me but I'm going to change her colours...

And thanks for the link @octacon100!! I'm definitely going to use it!
