For flat color 3D models, use solid, matte colors and a limited, consistent palette to maintain a clean, minimal aesthetic.
- Use unlit or flat shaders: This avoids realistic lighting that disrupts the flat style. - Add subtle contrast: Use darker outlines to define shapes without depth, preserving the flat look. - Stick to a small palette: Try 3 colors (base, accent, outline) to prevent clutter—beginners find this easiest. - Preview first: Test colors in your software’s viewport to ensure harmony before finalizing.
