What if you found a great color combination in the wild? In a photograph? And you want to incorporate that in your painting? First thing first, capture it and then...
Meet Gpick, an advanced color picker. It is not just a color picker, it is also a color palette editor and creator. One of the feature is a tool to make a color palette out of an image. So all you have to do is take photos and let Gpick turns those great color combination into a color palette.
Install Gpick (of course) from Linux Mint/Ubuntu Software Manager. Open Gpick and go to Tools -> Palette From Image. There is a 100 colors limit per image though.
Here's an example. I want to get a color palette from this picture.
With Gpick tool, I process and save it as color palette.
And then open the newly created in MyPaint Palette Editor.
Easy and convenient right?
Just remember, capturing colors from real world is not accurate since it depends on your camera sensor quality but still it is a a great leap from guessing.
