How do you find color inspiration for Minecraft skins? 🎨

When designing a Minecraft skin, where do you usually get your color inspiration?

Sometimes a small change in the palette can completely change the personality of a skin.

I'm curious how other skin creators approach it:

• 
  Do you start with the character concept?
  
• 
  Use colors from real animals or clothing?
  
• 
  Build a custom palette from scratch?
  
• 
  Take inspiration from existing Minecraft textures?
  
• 
  Experiment with different combinations?
  

I've been using this Minecraft color-code reference while experimenting with palettes:

What is your favorite way to find colors for a new skin?

How do you choose colors for a Minecraft skin? 🎨

When you're creating a Minecraft skin, how do you choose the colors?

I’ve noticed that a good color palette can make a huge difference, especially when trying to make a skin look unique without using too many colors.

I'm curious how other skin creators work:

• 
  Do you start with a specific palette?
  
• 
  Take colors from real images?
  
• 
  Experiment until something looks right?
  
• 
  Use Minecraft color references?
  

I found this Minecraft color-code reference useful when experimenting with different colors:

What color do you find yourself using most often in your skins?

With the new function to disable public skin downloads, I've taken the download option off of my Jam contest entries. Everything else is still FTU and accessible like before.

You may be wondering why; and it's a bit of a silly reason. I've seen players mistake my jam entries for FTU skins that ended up getting used on the server I roleplay on too. So when I wanted to still use one myself but then found someone else playing what was basically a dupe of my character, I was like "well.. this is awkward" LOL. So let's I hope don't run into that problem again going forward.

In other news, I was going to resume regular uploads once a kind of personal life cannon event happened. However, it hasn't happened yet - so that's a little awkward, too. I'm ready to resume when it does happen though, and will be happy to come back for another year or half-year.

Update : Poll Embeds on Wall Posts!
You can now share forum polls directly to your wall! Head to any forum poll thread or create your own and click Share Poll to Wall. Your post will be pre-filled with a live poll embed showing the current results, voting status, and a link back to the full thread.

A clean way to surface interesting forum discussions without leaving the conversation behind.

psst... pro-tip: you can also paste the poll bbcode into other useful locations like your content descriptions or profile custom widgets.
