Twilight Sparkle Color Guide 2.0 [UPDATED]by *kefkafloyd

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

New and improved!

All of the color guides are getting a revamp, and Twilight is the first to go. The guides are all now two pages, one for digital applications (such as vectors, painting in Photoshop, 3D modeling, etc) and the other for print applications (customs, merch, T-shirts, et cetera). The PNG preview for the digital guide should be OK to use as well, so the PDF is optional.

If you use Google Chrome or Safari, they will attempt to open the file in-line with Google Docs PDF viewer. DO NOT EYEDROP THOSE COLORS. SAVE THE PDF FILE. The Google Docs viewer displays in a very low bit depth that results in dithering of the colors. Until Deviantart gives me a way to disable this, you should use the download file link to view the guide!

They are also now more space efficient, and will be able to scale better with ponies that have more colors than normal.

The Digital guides aim to be as close to the show as possible, while the print guides aim to be as close to official merch as possible. When there's no merch of that pony (e.g. background ponies) then the print colors will be based on my conversions which will aim to reproduce the show without looking too weird or have obvious gamut problems.

It is safe to eyedrop the digital colors or use the hex/RGB codes - the swatches should match up just fine. Just make sure you're working in sRGB color mode.

For the merch guides, the spot colors are rendered using CMYK alternate color space. This is based on my own examinations of the merch boxes, where the spot colors are simulated straight to process anyway.

My brain, why is there two color versions? why not just use the second one, it's nicer.

Because colors are different on TV and print. There's demand for colors that are exactly ones used in the flash assets versus the ones used in the print/merchandise art. They both have their use.

I look at the digital palette and it feels like it's really excessively neon-y, but when I check it against screenshots, it's totally accurate. Weird! Maybe it's because the background isn't actually a mass of bright pastels.

In any event, very nice!

I'm unsing a tool that goes by
Hue
Saturation
Black&White
Any idea how to color her with those because I'm stumped

Any application worth its salt should have an eyedropper that you can click on the individual swatch colors and pull the color.
