[Gallagher]

All of our items are made entirely in greyscale, then have colors applied through a gradient map. We have a special set of gradient maps made specifically for this system, and it lets us have relative uniformity with the 208 colors we have available.

Items typically look like this without their colors:

Which allows us to do lovely combinations like y'all saw in the final release, oorrrr...

My usual job is to turn those 1,478,256 possible combinations (for the average monthly item, and no that's not an exaggeration) into the 4 final sets you lovely users get to see. As I do that, I save the individual files and sort them for our uploader to understand. That's what a recolorist does around here.

Flats are an extra job that just sort of happens sometimes, especially when we're running too close to our deadlines. In more usual circumstances, the pixelist does those as well.
