Watercolour Wash Collection
===========================

Sixteen colours chosen to stay readable when you lay them transparently over one another: four warm lights, four cool lights, four warm darks, four cool darks. Overlap a warm light and a cool light and you still get a colour, not mud.

WHAT IS IN HERE
  L24-wash-palette-chart.png   a printable / pinnable chart, one square per colour, hex printed on each
  L24-wash-palette.aco         Photoshop swatch file - Swatches panel menu > Import Swatches
  L24-wash-palette.ase         Adobe Swatch Exchange - works in Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, Krita

HOW TO USE THESE IN ARTRAGE

  1. File > Import Image as Reference, choose the chart PNG.
  2. Alt / Option-click a square to load it.
  3. For washes, drop the watercolour tool's opacity and build the colour up in layers -
     these sixteen are picked so that two or three transparent passes still read clearly.
  4. Warm light over cool dark, and cool light over warm dark, are the two overlaps worth
     testing first.

WHY THERE IS NO .col FILE IN HERE
  ArtRage's colour sample collection (.col) is a proprietary binary format that Ambient
  Design has never published. Writing a guess at it would produce a file that either fails
  to load or silently loads the wrong colours, so this pack ships formats that are
  documented and verified instead. Every colour is identical - only the container changed.
