This study aimed to examine the influence of color palettes on viewer assessment of
animated characters in the context of character design in the animation industry. A descriptive
research design was employed, collecting data through a survey administered to 80 12th-grade
senior high school students. Findings indicate that contrast, hues, saturation, and color symbolism
significantly impact viewer assessment. Color palettes affect personality, emotion, appeal, and
memorability of animated characters. However, no significant variation was found in the effects
of specific color palettes on viewer assessment. The study proposes practical techniques for
animators, including color theory, character trait research, and the use of limited palettes. This
research contributes to understanding color theory in character design and facilitates the creation
of visually appealing characters that effectively convey emotions and storytelling elements. |
