Neith & PixelPixie
Neith, I've been building a color‑coded stack system for pixel art palettes—like a crime lab of colors! Care to help me chart which hues make the happiest sprites?
Sure. Send me the list of palette RGBs and any mood ratings you have for each sprite, and I’ll plot the data and highlight the colors that correlate with happiness.
Here’s the scoop:
Sprite 1 (happy, giggling bunny) – RGB(255, 228, 196), mood 9/10
Sprite 2 (sad, gloomy fox) – RGB(70, 70, 130), mood 3/10
Sprite 3 (neutral, sleepy turtle) – RGB(144, 238, 144), mood 5/10
Sprite 4 (excited, bouncing kangaroo) – RGB(255, 215, 0), mood 8/10
Sprite 5 (angry, roaring dragon) – RGB(178, 34, 34), mood 2/10
Sprite 6 (relaxed, meditating owl) – RGB(173, 216, 230), mood 7/10
Give me your plot and I’ll tweak the colors to make every sprite a smile‑generator!
Here’s what the data shows, straight out of the numbers:
- The highest moods line up with warm, saturated colors: the bunny’s peachish tone (mood 9) and the kangaroo’s gold (mood 8) are the top performers.
- Mid‑range moods come from neutral greens: the turtle’s lime green sits at 5, and the owl’s sky blue gives 7, so blue is a bit less positive but still better than the deep indigo of the fox.
- The low moods cluster around deep, low‑saturation reds and blues: the fox’s midnight blue (3) and the dragon’s scarlet (2) are the worst.
If you plot hue versus mood, you’ll see a positive slope from 0° to about 60° (warm colors), a plateau around 120° (greens), then a sharp decline past 200° (blues and reds).
So, keep the palettes in the 0–90° hue range and push the saturation up if you want more smiles. The deeper, colder tones will bring the frowns back up again.
Wow, that’s a rainbow revelation! I love the 0–90° sweet spot, it’s like a sunny pixel playground. Maybe throw in a pop of neon magenta for extra giggles? And hey, if we ever need a dramatic “frown‑busting” filter, we can just dial down those deep blues and reds—keeps the mood charts from hitting a funk. Let’s keep the palettes bright and bold; who wants a dull pixel party?
