#but anyway i’m sorry i’ve just admitted to thievery i guess 😭😭😭

this is a legit question - for years i’ve essentially ‘pirated’ color palettes

for procreate, there’s a pretty big market of color palettes you can purchase to add the swatches to your program. however i was like “i ain’t paying 2+ dollars on some colors” so i just took a screenshot and eyedropped them into the program myself (and for preview images that were censored to avoid that, like having an overlay over half of the colors, i just edited it out to get it close enough). for as long as ive done this i was a cocky edgelord about it but now im wondering if i should feel bad about it??

because even if i think buying colors is ridiculous (especially for some of the prices i’ve seen geez) im still technically stealing. from small businesses. right?? but at the same time can you even copyright a color scheme? is buying a color palette for procreate even worth paying for? cuz they’re so cool and i wanna use em but also cmon.

(also ngl collecting them and dumping them into the program like a treasure haul is addicting lol)

this probably sounds so so stupid but i’m starting to worry a little 😭😭

#mayor talk #if there’s one thing i like about my methods of not paying for color palettes #it means i can let it sit in my very big color palette gallery and decide ‘yeah this is ass’ and delete it #without any sunk costs involved. cuz some of the color palettes are displayed in certain ways #that make them more appealing- such as putting the colors against a background they contrast well against #to make them more vibrant and interesting when the actual thing is mid #[or maybe i’m just a bad artist who can’t use them well] #but anyway i’m sorry i’ve just admitted to thievery i guess 😭😭😭 #but again i can’t tell if this is really bad or not or if anyone gives a shit #i’ve used color palettes for my artwork before too. and i still believe you can’t copyright a color palette but ehhhhhh you never know #*pirated palettes i should stress #when do i make art without a color palette in general lmao
