I like to create large palettes with lots of ramps, which I can then pull smaller palettes from per assignment. the paletteĪ color ramp is essentially a palette, but most palettes contain multiple ramps. This only makes sense to me if you want a monochromatic look and stick to one straight ramp. There is no law that says you can't do this but the resulting colors will lack interest and be difficult to harmonize with ramps of a different hue. ![]() Many beginners overlook hue-shifting and end up with 'straight ramps' that only transition brightness and saturation. In the previous example the hue is shifting by positive degrees as the brightness increases. Generally, darker colors have more saturation.Ī good color ramp should also apply hue-shifting, which is a transition in hue across the color ramp. Saturation peaks in the middle swatch in this example, but this is not a hard rule. Also, colors with very low brightness can become overly rich and weighty with high saturation. As the colors reach high brightness levels it's important to decrease saturation, or you'll end up with intense eye burning colors. ![]() Brightness steadily increases from left to right in this example.
