Parkour Colour Pallets

[<Inktest>]

(Thanks gqit for helping)
Most of the people when starting to build maps, don't really keep an eye on the colour pallet, so then, what's this refferining to?

Every build has it's own colours, maybe the body is green, legs are brown, all the colours that a build has reffers to the Colour Pallet.

When building parkour, it's recommended that the build pallet fits with the parkour pallet, which is something hard to do if you haven't prepared the blocks before building, here I have prepared a list with the non-full blocks that look good with each colour. This is an imporant part that you must pay attention to, on the photo below you can see a bad example of this.

A few blocks that don't follow the colour pallet, are acceptable, and sometimes the only option in order to have good parkour, so don't worry if you are forced to place some blocks that don't follow the pallet.

One really good example of showing color palette is the map UpwardsJourney. It’s really easy to see how @zzykrkv separated each section with the build as well as the parkour by palette while still keeping the parkour varied and interesting. I would send a screenshot if I was online right now lol but if someone remembers which plot number of Madi’s it’s on someone drop that.

here you go ink for making this super helpful thread. (Don't mind me just making Jacob's cookie seem insignificant now)

Something many people seem to miss in their builds. Good post!

/plot h thedestroyer7234 2
(shows all different blocks used for pk and color pallet lol) But great list and examples!

Well I mean Ink visits my plots all the time so he definitely knew what I had. So pretty much, ink just went off of me which is totally fine! The more people that get help, the better.

 

[zzykrkv]

come to /plot v zzykrkv 20 for absolutely nothing. Seriously there's absolutely nothing

True, everyone should go beat UpwardsJourney right now as it is a very fun level and very easy

What are some good colors for white? I'm making this LunarColony map and i got feedback that the it should be more color coordinated but the variation was good idk how to maintain the variation and color coordinate w/ my map

Ah i just now saw this- but would it totally mess up my build if i added the chests and fences? Also what about the water and the cobble walls etc.
Do /plot v eaagatha 1

A few unrelated blocks don't do much damage to the build, so you can place chests, walls, ... just make sure they look good, by looking at it yourself <3

i personally think that chests are typically quite inappropriately used, especially if they are just there to make the landing skinny. think carefully about what the actual block does and what it should be used for, in other words every block should have a purpose.
