Palette 1 =Hair color

Dream color = Bright Green, any neon shades


Palette 2 = marking colors (i.e. lekku markings, mon cal spots)

Dream color = true red, true black


Palette 3 = skin colors

Dream color = more shades of blue (rodians, twi'leks, mon cal)


As a side note, I think it's ridiculous that eyebrow color on twi'leks is on the human hair palette, not the twi'lek marking palette.

Palette 1: Makeup
Dream Color Family: Blues


Palette 2: Makeup
Dream Color Family: Greens


Palette 3: Tattoos
Dream Color: Uhm…all of them. I'd like to see 8-color families instead of 4-color to give more middle-tones. Keep the lightest and darkest shades the same, just give me 4 extra ones in the middle.

Palette 1: Hair Color
Dream Palette: Something expansive that includes wild and neon colors, so everyone doesn't look the same.


Palette 2: Marking Color (all of them... Twi'lek, Zabrak, Mon Cal, etc)
Dream Palette: The tailor palette would work well here, I think. Or just something really big.


Palette 2: Skin Color (all of them)
Dream Palette: Something HUGE! Something that will allow a Twi'lek to be fleshtone (and I mean REALLYfleshtone), and will also allow a human to be bright green if they want to. Don't even get me started on immersion, people. It got thrown out the window a long time ago, so at least let us ID's have some fun... dangit.

Palette 1 =Markings (Twi'lek, Mon Cal, Zabrak)

Dream colors = The full deal! It annoys me to no end being unable to properly match clothes and markings


Palette 2 = Makeup

Dream colors = Same as above


Palette 3 = Trandoshan skin (they need the lovin')

Dream colors = Wider range--but nothing that looks "unnatural"

I would like to see a "Universal Numbered Color Palette" given to all professions that use color.


This color palette would always be the exact same size & configuration with all the colors numbered & always in the exact same position in the palette grid. Any restrictions on colors forcertain itemsshould be represented by X'd out boxes where the numbered color would normally be for other items that allowthat color.


As ID's, we were the first to get numbers attached to colors because the dev's listened to our suggestions & gave us the much needed update. But the same update has yet to have been offered to the other professions that use color, & now would be a good time to try & integrate a uniform system that will be very helpful to all of us regardless of our professions.

Palette 1 =Skin color

Dream colors = Most of the races need some more crisp and vibrant shades. Not necissarily "Bright" but more rich. There's a difference in purple... and Wine purple.


Palette 2 = Marking color

Dream colors =Same as skin color.


Palette 3 = Hair color

Dream colors = True white, true black, Also, two tone hair colors. (A style that allows 2 colors in it, and am ID can adjust the color, much like the trim and body of the cars. )

Expanding the current color palettes is the most likely thing ID will get for publish 8, being it is the simplest and would get the most bang for the dev time. And adding only one color shade per palette also makes sense, to reduce dev and approval time. To be fair to all species I think suggesting one color shade per species is the way to go.


Here is may suggestion;



  • Humans, Hair - red to orange

  • Rodian, Skin - red to pink

  • Mon Calmari, skin and marking - Blank to white

  • Bothan, hair trim - red to orange

  • Wookiee, fur and markings - divide current shade by 8 instead of 4

  • Twi'lek, skin and marking - Reds

  • Trandoshan, Skin - Blank to white

  • Zabrak, Horns - change to mach hair or preferably tattoo color palette





Items like Trandoshan color ridges and Bothan two tone fur patterns would take some time, so maybe by publish 9 or 10 we could get them.
