FREEHAND: COlor

There are three main categories of color palettes — monochromatic, two-tone, and analogous — which are applied to the flat and round brush strokes in each output. Each palette consists of one continuous range of color (or two in the case of two-tone color palette) that varies in color/opacity from one end to the other. Every stroke contains a smaller portion of that color range, with at least a slight variation in color/opacity from one side of the brush stroke to the other. This gives a level of texture and depth to each stroke.

Many of the color palettes share similar colors to enhance the cohesiveness of the project as a whole.
