Creating a Cohesive Color Palette in Unity
Developing a cohesive color palette is essential to enhance player immersion and align with your game’s art style. Follow these steps to create a compelling palette:
1. Start with a Base Color
Choose a base color that reflects your game’s theme. Use this as a starting point for your palette. Refer to the Greg Gunn’s guide on Medium to learn how to derive additional colors.

2. Expand Using a Color Ramp
Create a color ramp by incrementally adjusting saturation and brightness to maintain consistency across the palette. This approach is detailed in the GB Studio Central tutorial.
3. Implement Hue Shifting Techniques
Apply hue shifting to add variety while ensuring harmony within your palette. This technique allows colors to adapt to different lighting scenarios in your game.
4. Organize Your Palette
Structure your color palette in groups such as neutral tones, highlights, and shadows to streamline the application process.
5. Test for Immersion
Test your color palette in various game scenes to ensure it enhances immersion and complements the overall art style. Adjust as necessary to maintain a cohesive look and feel.
