my favorite thing to do with color is shift the skintones in a picture to something not normal like blue or green or purple, and then just based on the neighboring warm and cool hues, make all the other colors seem natural in relation to that

like I'll color someone with pink skin and then fuchsia hair and a very light red shirt, and the hair ends up looking red and the shirt ends up looking yellow because of the context it's put in

that shit is endlessly cool to me

it's basically pulling this trick but with hue instead of value

@whyguy Could you show some examples?

@francistein yeah, sure thing!

in the first picture, cole's hair is actually light pink, but looks blonde in context

and my oc in the second picture has another "yellow" moon on his jacket, but it's light pink again. also, his jeans looks like it's leaning toward greyish blue in context, but is actually just another shade of purple

@whyguy Quite interesting!! Good examples, thanks. I remembered doing something similar in school, modifying colors by proximity with another colors. Do you make it with some type of automatized process or artesanal mode?

@francistein you can do that on any point of the color spectrum, I just have recent examples of the red to blue-purple spectrum rn
