To create your own color palette click on each of the 4 corner squares to pick your anchor colors. The other 5 squares will fill in as their neighbors are selected.
How this works
Start with a 3x3 grid
First we're going to start with an empty 3x3 grid of squares.
Fill in the corners
Pick the four colors that you want to be your anchor colors. These go in the 4 corners of the grid.
We're going to use solid colors here to make it easier to see what's going on, but you can pick whatever you want.
Blend horizontally
Next, take the colors from the top two corners and blend them together to fill the middle square.
Do the same for the bottom two corners.
Mix the colors
Now let's find the midpoint between the two colors.
Repeat vertically
Do the same mixing the top left and bottom left colors and the top right and bottom right colors.
Mix to the center
And last, fill in the center square. You can do this by either mixing all four corners together, mixing the top and bottom from the center column, or the left and right from the middle row. Either way you'll end up with the same color.
Is 9 too many colors?
If you don't want a palette with 9 colors it's easy to cut this down to a set of 6. You can get rid of any of the 3 rows or any of the 3 columns and still end up with a nice color palette.
