From now on you can choose from 200 different colors when you create your sp-studio.de characters. I am sure this will help you to be even more creative! 🙂 Hair, shirts, skin, backgrounds… every item which uses the palette benefits from this update. The colors are better sorted now so you can find a fitting color combination easier than before. I chose the different shades for every color myself instead of using an automatic script to do this to make sure everything looks like I want it to look.
As a bonus more eye make-up, horns and wings from the “make-up and extra body parts” category have turned into custom color items. And I made little improvements to many hair styles because looking at old drawings can feel pretty awkward. I changed black lines to dark lines (depending on the selected color) and fixed small “holes” between hair and body.
I am looking forward to seeing your colorful SP-Studio pictures!
Twice as much color!

Janina, thank you for this wonderful update, but could you please keep the old color plate as well, especially the recommended skin tones? Some of us are still used to the old version and may feel at loss looking at the more colorful one.
I am color challenged. I am told that I am “color blind”. I do have some difficulty with reds, browns, greens. Could you provide a chart showing what color is where, or is this something I could reference elsewhere? Thank You Peter Benham
I myself even got confused with the enlarged palette system, especially with the skin tones which are harder to find. Back then, 20 skin colors can be found on one side, now, only 4 are easy to find in the big palette. What I definitely wanted is to add more markers on the skin colors found on the big palette, probably 30 or 40.
Well, I have discovered that 64 out of the original 100 (99 due to one color is on both the main and the skin palettes) are on the new palette, thanks to my analysis. 35 were the leftover colors including 5 skin colors. The other thing is, how are we suppose to fit 35 of the leftovers and probably add 5 more to make exactly 240 colors in the palette? I guess it will be a new problem on how to fit a 12×20 grid of colors.
And speaking of the markers, the ochres, grey orange-reds, and grey browns are good selection. As for the range of reds to yellows, I guess it’s up to everyone to decide where to put the other half of possibly 30 markers.
