After countless shades, endless comparisons, and intensive color tests, our jury has finally reached a decision!
Behind us are hours of carefully examining every tone, transition, and perfectly chosen color — and honestly, picking the winners was anything but easy.
Every submitted palette brought its own style, atmosphere, and creative spark, and the competition was truly incredible.
Special thanks go to the judges who took their time and effort and helped vote on the winning palette. Our guest judges this time were umbohr and Milano Nicotin, as well as our mod team Trigonomicon, Weerdmeester, vrine, Gecimen, QueenKami and Irenaart.
