We have judged the 35 entries of the color pallete contest! We were pleasantly surprised by the submissions. Some of them were a bit painful to our eyes but they sure made us laugh. There was quite a good selection of finalists. We ended up having 7 options that we thought were interesting to test in-game.

Honorable Mentions

First of all, we would like to do a couple of honorable mentions:

Category number 1: Definitely not a fit for SCHiM but it sure looks interesting.

Category number 2: Unexpected interpretation of the contest

TheKindex posted a gif instead of one single image. In the gif, the outlines change color which is something that might be interesting to explore in the future, so definitely an honorable mention! https://i.imgur.com/E0J7wxg.mp4

Category number 3: The finalists that didnt win but got real close (we will consider these in the future).

Ewoud personally really liked the submission of Hiyori as well, so its worth the mention!
