I somehow totally lag behind when it comes to updates. I mean not my updates or those on paranoid!, but updates all around the community. Just a few hours ago I stumbled upon the entry where
pooklet introduced a new color palette. It's awesome how the reasoning totally matched mine. I was getting tired of recoloring an renaming 40+ files each time I wanted ONE hairstyle.
Aaaand because I'm such a selfish little bastard who wants to have everything of her own, I suggested to my paranoid!-partner
lavaya to make some brand new color actions, totally from scratch! And so... we did. We decided to have one darker and one lighter color per bin as well as one black (yeah, we just drop it all in one family. Makes absolutely no difference unless you're extracting the hairs in BS. But we make them for playing, not for extracting).
For the custom colors we had a shit ton of ideas, reaching from metallics to duo-colored neons. But then I stumbled upon the palette of
"Directions", a German dye brand, and knew - this is it! Some colors do not match 100%, but that's jut so that they look better on sims' heads. One of the colors was still kept in metallic flavor - for the lovely alien sims!
But now the question is - does anyone give a damn?
We have a load of retextures and recolors already, for testing reasons, but does it make sense to upload them, because people would prefer pooklet's colors (which I honestly wouldn't mind!)?
I don't have many ingame screenshots yet, but I'll try to make some proper ones over the weekend. So far only the palette with an overview of the colors.

mandarin is the color "flame" from some of the recent sets
spring is "grass", but now I made this color to an action
and also there's no iris or unicorn in the "Directions" palette. We just put them in there, as we missed something.
So far... well for me it's good night! Tomorrow again recoloring, renaming and binning...
BTW: All recolors which might be uploaded in the future, will be uploaded at
paranoid_creations, not here.
