binarycoder Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm trying to understand the colors in the default palette. Typically, default palettes are a superset of the historical 16 EGA colors. However, I can't find things like pure green in Paint.NET's default palette. The closest is (0,255,33) I'm wondering how the 33 came about -- it seems unusual. This is in 3.50.3596.41598. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I can't say how the default palette came about. You can customize and add your own palette(s) however, here's how: Customizing Palettes ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Typically, default palettes are a superset of the historical 16 EGA colors. Depends on what the application is intended for. If you want pure green, just click More>> and type in 0,255,0 for the R,G,B values. The palette in Paint.NET isn't something that's stored in the image, and doesn't limit the colors you can use at any given time. It's basically just a list of shortcuts. All 16.7 million colors are always available.

Thanks, I was just wondering if there was some algorithm that determined which colors were put in the default palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonelboris Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Glad you can make your own as the defaul has some rather odd colour choices... Also, on the 'help' pages, I was looking at this, but all the links appear to go straight to advertising rather than the actual links they're supposed to go to. www.tonykeenebirds.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
