Where do the creature colors come from? Answers inside!

So for those wondering where the creature colors come from…I have answers! I’m sure if you studied the creatures and the environment you’d be able to put 2+2 together but this is taken from a release palette in world builder. So for anyone curious how it all works on the public worlds, look no further.

Note that it’s not an exact copy. It looks like the animals basically link to the colors of the blocks mentioned below and then add a specified amount of random variation.

Wildstock get their tints from grass.

Spitters get their tints from foliage.

Cuttletrunks get their tints from wood.

Hoppers get their tints from rocks.

Roadrunners get their tints from gleam/sand.

This is how I got Bambi spitters! I included a photo in the test thread I believe. I was so curious how it happened haha

Cuttletrunks get their tints from wood

Which reminds me about the creatures “lore” when they were introduced first. Cuttles were supposed to like trees, sitting in their leaves and only lifting themselves when alerted to potential prey.

Animal Colors

I assume Variants are the level of the creeps. Colors are set as HSLuv so when it says like hue +180, it means it will take that color and use a color at 180 degree later which is the opposite side of the Hue Circle. WILDSTOCK

Variant 0 Base = Barbed Grass (Colder, Hue +10, Sat -10, Lum -10) Aux = Igneous Rock (Colder, Hue +10, Sat -10, Lum -10) Exotic = Modified Variant 0 Base (Fixed, Hue +180, Sat +10, Lum +20) Variant 1 Base = Mix Barbed Grass + Gnarled Grass (Colder, Hue +10, …

if you want to add it to the OP.
