Wonderful effort and contribution. Thank you.
Just curious, how did you sample these to get them to be "true color" to their sources? How does one go about doing something like that?

Thanks! What a delightful array of color palettes to share with us, Trurl! Like Bryon, I, too would be interested in knowing about the source. Making these palettes intrigues me!

I used scanned paint tests and catalogues for color samples. Because of the scanning the colors are converted to RGB and they are also usable in RGB color space in Artrage. The colors get somewhat distorted during virtual painting, because of the limited color range of the RGB color space and because the virtual paint doesn't have the chemical and physical properties of real pigments.

Two additional color palettes:

van Gogh water colour



St. Petersburg White Night water colour
