TristanBomb's Spectrum

The "Spectrum" colorset is a colorset based off the pHSL system, leading to more natural colors than straight HSL. It's designed to be, above all, useful. As the image shows, it contains nine brights ("Chroma"), nine pales ("Luma"), nine browns ("Sienna," split into two sets and one extra), nine metallics ("Industria," split into four steel blues, four nickel yellows, plus a crimson color), nine natural colours ("Natura," including four vegetative greens and five increasingly dark and murky water colours), nine transparents ("Vitria," including a full transparent), and nine grayscales ("Cinera," with six regular and three transparent).

The weird column names are based off of Latin and Greek. Don't judge me. Note that this is not intended to be default compatible, though it might be. Your mileage may vary.





Older Colorsets
Natura Colorset
So called because it was intended to be high in "natural" looking colours. Not too great for general-purpose building but I think it works for its purpose. Based off of the HCL (which I believe is just a remapping of Lab) colorspace. Original OP here. Like the Spectrum, it is not designed to be default compatible.
Less is More
Honestly, the name is a bit of a misnomer, since it has just as many colours as other colorsets, although it is less as far as new colours go. Also based off the Lab colorspace. I don't believe I've ever published this one, but this one is more or less default compatible, as that's what the first two columns are.
Less is More (Brilliant)
A simple variation of "Less is More" but with more intense colours for more vibrant builds. The defaults are the same.

Criticism is very welcome, although obviously the older colorsets are, well, old. Finally, I didn't include it here, but my first post on the forum almost 5 years ago was a colorset, if a stuffty one. Check it out under possibility of cringe.

The grays in Less is More are redundant, no? The default greys and the new ones all overlap a bit.

I think they're slightly off shades but more likely is that when I made it I wasn't planning on adding defaults

Updating it is a possibility if anyone has ideas on a replacement

The Spectrum looks pretty good.  :o
