Re: cartoon shadows are saturated
That's absolutely true. In some cartoon renderings I don't see that being used, though. Just dropping the L* slider value to get a shadow tone will only work in some cases. You guys mention how important coloured illumination (or coloured ambient light) is. After analysing some more toon media and those previous images… -

The same shadow colour is used for the whole scene. The base colours… -

LAB mode is a theory space that is… -

The "problem" that looks like the desaturation of shadows is described in that same quote from David's website. There's a TL,DR at the end of this post. There are two measurements of the "purity" of colour…
