As part of the ongoing macro work on barks and foliage, The Doc was describing the various hues in the barks and leaves, he looked for a way to be more objective and found a colour palette generator that identified the ten dominant hues in an image. Some samples can be found below.
The ten most dominate colours in the bark/leaf are listed on the left. The source image was in 8bit colour with an sRGB colour profile embedded.
It is a visual colour palette of the main colours in the bark or leaf, it is not scientifically exact.
Colour names based the hexadecimal RGB colour code: https://www.99colors.net/color-names
The Doc much prefers the names of colours rather than their Hex code (#FFEBCD) or RGB code (255, 235, 205), otherwise known as Blanched Almond. Others names include Caput mortuum, Cerulean blue, Dogwood rose, Otter brown and Dark candy apple red.
Why does the colour palette look slightly different to the image? In the colour palette you see each distinct colour, but the image is a mixture of these colours and more. In essence, it is like looking at an artist’s various paint colours, before the colours are mixed and put on the canvas. The palette is just identifying the ten main colours used by nature, not how nature mixes all the colours.
