Colour Selection has always been an arch nemesis for beginners and though i love the colour wheel of krita, i was wondering if devs can add a harmony based color selection right on the colour wheel for beginner friendly and appealing selection.
The came fron using Adobe colour Wheel to generate some pallets.
Here is what the Adobe color link looks like with multiple methods to select color.
Yes, there are plugins but I was wondering about some native solutions and these visual-based color pallet generators directly on the color wheel seem extremely elegant.
Not sure if this exactly works that way, but could be a starting point for Krita’s implementation. If you see rickrack works, you will probably get my point
You get my vote, if you can show me a proper mockup for the implementation in krita.
Questions you should ask yourself:
Where would you access this feature.
Would it be a new docker?
How do you pick the base color ?
Does the palette refresh on selecting a new color or only if you let them generate?
How many colors do get generated?
Is the number of colors configurable?
But I think your feature-request will not be implemented…
As I was taking screenshots of the “Advanced Colour Selector” - docker I came across the “Shade-Selector” options and I think you can achieve exactly what you want with it.
Here you can add lines for each color-harmony you want. Maybe the devs could add shades for complementary, and traid, but monochromatic and shades are already there.
Dear @BeARToys. Appreciate again for mockup and its a great find.
I understand this feature request has very bleak chances, but Adobe Color, Rickrack and Procreate does something that krita lacks, ease with visual representation. So my request is definitely small and might overlap color gamut selector and your finding, I still hope the super easy way to select color and create a pallet could open more UI/UX easiness a newcomer seek.
Also even from my own perspective, this should be a low importance target for devs too.
If you are not on Android, use Pigment.O! …or RickRack, but you can have Pigment.O in Krita as a docker because it is a plugin.
Sorry, because it is THE PLUGIN, at least if it comes to color-needs in Krita!
It is really complex just as rickrack.
But that was not the point.
This is a feature-request of low priority. If there is ever a developer who wants to do a simple request, because he/she is bored, this could be the one, because it is a nice to have.
I think you can simulate the harmonies with the advanced color selector just fine. So there is no need for a plugin or for the development of this feature in my opinion.
Yes, I would like a pigment.o like thing in krita. But since it is a plugin,
its tad bit difficult to install for beginners
not available on android
definitely too advance
My idea was to have extremely simple and visualy easy colour selector, something procreate does. You know, colour selection is arch nemesis of new painter and this could be an easy and joyous way to have fun with colours.
@BeARToys , i think we are on same page. This definitely just a nice to have feature rather than must have
