my coloring system

(these are loose rules, and sometimes i don't follow all of them )


i use OKLCH color picker to choose colors for my pictures

the steps

  1. i pick grey colors (without chroma) so i can see the contrast

    picture_grey.webp
  2. then i add chroma and hue

    picture_colored.webp

Lightness

i use 12 lightnesses:

  • 01.webp

    0 %

  • 01.webp

    ¹⁄₁₂ = 8.33 %

  • 02.webp

    ²⁄₁₂ = 16.67 %

  • 03.webp

    ³⁄₁₂ = 25 %

  • 04.webp

    ⁴⁄₁₂ = 33.33 %

  • 05.webp

    ⁵⁄₁₂ = 41.67 %

  • 06.webp

    ⁶⁄₁₂ = 50 %

  • 07.webp

    ⁷⁄₁₂ = 58.33 %

  • 08.webp

    ⁸⁄₁₂ = 66.67 %

  • 09.webp

    ⁹⁄₁₂ = 75 %

  • 10.webp

    ¹⁰⁄₁₂ = 83.33 %

  • 11.webp

    ¹¹⁄₁₂ = 91.67 %

  • 12.webp

    100 %

if i want clear contrast between a background color and a foreground color, i make the foreground 5 steps lighter/darker than the background.

if i want visible contrast, the 2 Lightnesses are 4 steps away from each other.

if i want almost no contrast, the Lightnesses are only 1 – 3 steps away.

Hue

i may use any of the 360 hues.

when the Lightness between 2 same-hue colors gets lighter by 1 step, the hue gets 5° closer to red/yellow.

when it gets darker instead, the hue gets 5° closer to blue/purple.

Chroma

i don't have a system for choosing Chroma, except that i snap it to sixths:

  • 00.webp

    0

  • 01.webp

    ⅙ × 0.1 = 0.02

  • 02.webp

    ²⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.03

  • 03.webp

    ³⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.05

  • 04.webp

    ⁴⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.07

  • 05.webp

    ⁵⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.08

  • 06.webp

    0.1

  • 07.webp

    ⁷⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.12

  • 08.webp

    ⁸⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.13

  • 09.webp

    ⁹⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.15

  • 10.webp

    ¹⁰⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.17

  • 11.webp

    ¹¹⁄₆ × 0.1 = 0.18

  • 12.webp

    2 × 0.1 = 0.2
