HD Color Theory

HD Color Theory is a visual planning addon for World of Warcraft Housing decorators who want to use dye colors more intentionally while designing rooms, builds, and decor layouts.

The addon is built around a WoW Housing dye color wheel using estimated Blizzard dye hues, organized with color theory in mind. Rather than treating every dye as a flat list, HD Color Theory helps separate true hue relationships from warm woods, earthy tones, metals, whites, greys, and blacks. This makes it easier to understand which dyes naturally work together, which ones create contrast, and which colors may be better used as accents, trims, bases, or neutral anchors.

The goal is to make dye planning easier directly in-game without needing to constantly reference external screenshots, websites, or separate color tools. It is especially useful when building cohesive room palettes, testing complementary or analogous color ideas, comparing warm and cool tones, or deciding how to balance colorful dyes against neutral wood, stone, metal, and grey options.

Current purposes include:

• Providing an in-game visual reference for WoW Housing dyes
• Helping decorators understand color relationships while building
• Supporting room palette planning using color theory
• Separating chromatic colors from warm neutrals and greys/blacks/whites
• Making it easier to choose base, accent, and trim dye combinations
• Serving as a learning-friendly addon project for experimenting with WoW Lua, addon UI, slash commands, saved variables, and housing-focused tools

Open the addon with any of these slash commands:

/hdct is the primary short command.
/colortheory is the descriptive command.
/housingdyes is included as an easy-to-remember housing-specific command.
