Hey @Awez, thanks so much for checking out the plugin, I hope you continue to enjoy it! I plan on improving it as time goes on.
As for your comments, let me see if I can help:
- You have to double click to select the color you want, which is pretty lame.
It was designed to work with single clicks, so this is surprising to me! I did this specifically to make the tool as quick as possible.
Could it be a difference in OS? What OS are you using? Does this behavior occur on all swatches or just certain types (pilotcolor, shade, antipilot)?
It was developed on windows and all swatches operate by single clicks on my end. Let me know some details if you please, this feature is small but actually very important to me.
When HSY is enabled, there are certain colors (such as this specific shade of cyan) which wont tint the colors. Here’s a demonstration
I briefly discuss the nature of these modes in the manual, but briefly put: The HSY mode attempts to abide by perceptual standards of value; that is to say, some colors are naturally stronger or weaker at different values (i.e. yellow is strong at light values, weak at dark values.) This is “realistic,” but as you demonstrate, it sometimes produces results with vanishingly weak chroma.
I plan to look into improvements to the current HSY formulation and additional adjustment options in future versions, but for now here are some options for you:
-
Manipulate the saturation or value of your Antipilot to get higher chroma, such as in the example below:
-
Switch to HSL mode and reduce the chroma of your Antipilot to a more subtle result
