Hi All,

I’ve been learning to use color palettes using the ColorPalette.ino example code. I replaced the colors in the static color palette that gets stored in PROGMEM and replace the last two lines in the ‘changepaletteperiodically’ series.

I ran the code and waited for my palette to come up. It did, looked great, decided to trim the other palettes out and keep working in the example code.

When I removed the other palettes from the mix and ran the code again, the led scene didn’t look the same.

Are there settings from the previous palettes being transferred to my custom palette?

I’d need to see your code to help. Can you post it on https://gist.github.com or http://pastebin.com and post a link to it here?

Here are the two different version that give me different results for my color palette.

Example 1 (Palette blends decent)

Example 2 (Palette blends awful)
Second variant with the other built-in scenes cut out. Suddenly the colours for my custom palette don't blend the same way. · GitHub

The custom palette I made starts at Line 138, and the changes I made to the palette transition are at Line 88.

It seems that when I remove partycolors_p it stops blending the same way…
