The technique I'm looking for is Calculations in Photoshop

I obtained family 3 by adding a curves adjustment, it caused all the random colors to converge into one family.

@Paul Murray That screenshot you posted is not at all what I am talking about. I examined the colors one by one and they are all completely different. Look at this example:

I examined each of those websafe colors and I can tell they all belong to the same group. When placed next to black text on a white background, they contrast exactly the same way.

I am glad I noticed this because now I am 100% sure that is where my answers lie. I have seen artists adjust every pixel in their art using this technique, I am not sure how they do it yet, but it's used to create a consistent effect in the digital artwork.

I'm sorry but I disagree, if I selected just any color, they are not going to work. Not the websafe colors either. Look at the attachment

It is a bit disappointing because all I find online is how to create color swatches. That is not what I am looking for. I am trying to understand how and why these specific colors were selected.

The last thread I posted confused everybody, including myself. But I think I'm able to phrase my question a little better this time. My question is, how do the software developers decide which colors to use for swatches? I really need to understand the theory behind this because I am trying to...

You're absolutely right. My art education failed me though, I will try to do more research into that.

Just regular adjustments alone are not enough, I've tried it many times over the years. The final colors (excluding colors of line and eyes) all belong to one group. I've studied the colors of so many different artworks, from photography, graphic design and digital painting of splash arts, they...

Oops, I thought that zooming in close would make it clearer. So in the example I just uploaded, the final image is on the right. To achieve it, the artist would, of course, use normal adjustments (curves, color balance etc) and paint over, but there is another technique at the end to really get...

I understand that my request is strange. I am trying to emulate an art style that is completely unique. What I mean is: after I am done painting, I need to refine my illustration and adjust the colors (by using Curves, HSL adjustment, color balance etc). Unfortunately, these techniques are...

Hi, I am a digital illustrator and I need a specific group of colors from the RGB color space for a unique style of illustration. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to create them. These colors cannot be simply selected by sight, or created using normal tonal adjustment techniques. If you...
