Color Management with Toon Boom Palettes色彩管理与繁荣香椿调色板

Toon Boom uses a palette system to maintain its colors.香椿景气使用调色板系统，以保持其颜色。 The benefit of this system is that once you create the colors for a character you can easily import that palette into any new cartoons you create, making it easy for you to maintain a consistent design for your cartoon characters.有利于这一制度的是，一旦你创建的颜色字符您可以轻松地汇入调色板到任何新的漫画您创建，使您可以轻松地保持一致的设计为您的卡通人物。 This tutorial will walk you through the basics of creating a new palette for your cartoon characters, and will show you how to save that palette for future cartoons.本教程将引导您完成基本的创建一个新的调色板为您的卡通人物，并且将告诉您如何拯救未来的调色板漫画。

The plan is to create a new palette for each character.该计划是建立一个新的调色板的每个字符。 There are some colors that all characters will have accessible to them, like black, white and blue (more on that in a moment).也有一些颜色，所有字符将有他们可以进入的，像黑色，白色和蓝色（更多的，在一个时刻） 。

Create a New Palette创建一个新的调色板

If you do not see the Color tab available, select Window — Color Palette to make it available.如果您没有看到的颜色可用标签，选择窗口-调色板，使其可用。 When you look at the Color tab for the first time it will have the default colors loaded.当你看到的颜色标签，它首次将默认颜色加载。 This is a set of 120 colors with a varying range of hues.这是一套与120颜色不同范围的色调。 Instead of being labeled “blue” or “red”, they’re labeled by number.而不是标示为“蓝色”或“红色” ，他们标记的号码。 Perhaps you’ll find “color 104″ to be easy to remember but I find it distracting and confusing.也许你会发现“颜色104 ”是很容易记住，但我认为分散和混乱。 We’re going to create a new palette and name the colors with a system that is easy for us to remember.我们要创建一个新的调色板和名称的颜色同一个系统，很容易让我们记住。

Select “New Palette” from the dropdown menu in the Color tab.选择“新的调色板”从下拉菜单中的彩色标签。 You’ll notice that Toon Boom populates the first color for you, with the ever-so-helpful name of “default”.您会发现，香椿景气填入的第一颜色你，与以往任何时候都那么有用的名称“默认” 。 I was thinking about painting my living room a nice shade of default.我想我的画客厅很好树荫下的默认。 Now that I see it though it may be a bit dark.现在，我认为这虽然可能有点黑暗。

Double click on the color and it will let you rename it to “black”.双击颜色，它可以让您重新命名为“黑色” 。

To add a new color to the palette click on the plus sign in the Color tab.要添加新的颜色调色板点击加号的彩色标签。 Each time you click on the plus sign it will duplicate whatever color you currently have selected.每次您按一下加号，将重复什么颜色您目前选定的。 Once it does this you can adjust this color using either the Eyedropper tool to select an existing color or you can manually select a hue via the color wheel (just to the left of the plus sign).一旦这是否可以调整颜色使用的吸管工具选取现有的颜色或您可以手动选择一个色调通过色轮（仅左侧的加号） 。

Your color wheel may look different from what you see here, depending on which operating system you use.您的色轮可能看起来不同于你看到这里，取决于你的作业系统使用。

Adjust the slider to the right of the color wheel all the way to the top, which will give you white.调整滑块右边的色轮的所有道路上方，这将给你白色。 Rename this new color, and then repeat the process to create a third color.重新命名这个新的颜色，然后重复此过程，以建立第三颜色。 This time you’ll select a bluish color from the wheel, be sure to rename it as well.这时候，你选择一个蓝色的颜色从车轮，请务必将它重命名的。

Typically when laying out a new scene I find it useful to use a bright blue color to sketch out the rough layouts.通常当奠定了新的舞台我觉得有用的使用明亮的蓝色颜色勾画粗糙的布局。 This is a practice that is common in animation, as it’s easy to see the blue lines for further planning as well as disregard the blue when testing new animation.这是一个做法，是常见的动画，因为它很容易地看到，蓝线为进一步规划以及无视蓝色时，测试新的动画。

From there the sky’s the limit.从那里的天空的极限。 For my relatively simple characters I typically include a base color, a highlight and a shadow.对于我国相对简单的字符余一般包括基础的颜色，一个亮点和阴影。 This will cover most everything I’ll need for that character.这将涵盖几乎所有我需要的这种性质。

If you create an accessory that needs it’s own color, a bowtie for example, go ahead and name that color “bowtie”.如果您创建了一个配件，需要它自己的颜色，一个bowtie例如，继续和名称，颜色“ bowtie ” 。 That way you don’t have to think too much when you go to color the character in at the end of your animation.这样，您不必想太多当你去彩色的字符结束时您的动画。 Traditionally speaking animators don’t like to think anymore than they have to, make it as easy on yourself as you can.传统上发言动画不喜欢想比他们不再有，使它容易对自己可以。

How to Create a Gradient如何创建一个梯度

When you first bring up the color wheel you’ll see an checkbox labeled “Gradient”.当您第一次实现了色轮你会看到一个复选框，标有“梯度” 。 If you check that box you’ll be able to select the individual colors of the gradient slider directly below the checkbox.如果您检查中您可以选择个别颜色滑块直接梯度低于复选框。 This is where you can also change the gradient to be radial or linear.这是您还可以更改梯度是径向或直线。 Drag the individual colors to move the positioning within the gradient.拖曳个别颜色将定位在梯度。

Name Your Color for Clarity命名您的颜色清晰

When I first began animating with Toon Boom I used to use the version of the list of colors that did not show the names of the colors (one of the small icons on the Color tab).当我第一次开始与卡通动画臂我以前使用的版本清单的颜色并没有显示名字的颜色（一个小图标的颜色标签） 。 I was also not renaming the colors.我还没有命名的颜色。 Eventually though I realized that if I took the time to correctly label the colors I was saving myself a bunch of time down the road.虽然最终我意识到，如果我花时间正确标签的颜色，我自己节省了许多时间的道路。 This premise is the very core of Toon Boom - save yourself buckets of time later by doing the difficult parts now.这个前提是非常核心的香椿繁荣-水桶节省自己的时间后，做的困难是现在。

Export the Palette for Future Use出口的调色板供日后使用

Once you’ve established your color palette, you can export it to be used in later projects.一旦你建立了你的调色板，您可以汇出它可被用于在以后的项目。 There’sa small icon on the Color tab that you can click to see a menu of options (shown below).还有小图标的颜色标签，您可以按一下看到一个菜单选项（如下所示） 。 If you select “Palette — Export Palette” you’ll be presented with a window that will let you rename your palette whatever you like.如果您选择“调色板-导出调色板”您将提出一个窗口，让您重新命名您的调色板不管你喜欢。 I recommend using the character’s name for the palette to keep things simple.我建议使用的字符的名称为调色板保持简单的事情。

You Should Be Dangerous Now您应该现在是危险的

Your coloring and gradient skills have now increased, congratulations.您的着色和梯度技能现在已经增加了，表示祝贺。 Your deft stylus maneuvers will leave them in the dust.你灵巧的笔演习将离开他们的灰尘。 Now get out there and animate!现在，走出有生命！
