154. That's how many swatches are needed in the sims 4 need to be customizable enough for players of various taste and style to match with their aesthetics. I based on numerous of factors that could cover most basis even though players may not get their specific colour they would have a colour close to it.
This Sims has a vast player group with different style. Some player like vibrant colour other have muted taste, some pastel and cutesy taste others darker palette and some like to mix different aesthetics etc. So this is my colour system. For every Prime colour I did a variation on that colour.
vibrant, dark, light, pastel, pale, muted, misc. (which refer to neon for the bright and the undertone for the neutrals)
It makes it harder to style clothes and objects when things are not cohesive throughout. So these swatches should be applied to all aspect of CAS and Build-mode. clothes, eye colour, eyebrows, hairs, furniture, objects etc. this also applies for all their textures of materials like fabrics and woods, metals etc. This doesn't have to apply to patterns or logos because all items should come with the plain swatches and the pattern or logo option put on top or a separate swatch. Materials like denim, suede, latex, wool, leather, wood, metal, brick, wallpaper etc, come in all the swatch colours as plain swatches. Hairs, eyes, and eyebrows also coming in all swatches as plain too. I worked out this system by changing the saturation and brightness/darkness of each colour. The range of colours consist of neutrals and bright colours spectrums allocated to the corresponding colour type:
Without a colour wheel the amount of swatches needed it may be better to have a colour wheel for how much time it would be to add these swatches however for performance swatches would be better but this is the range we would need across all aspect of swatches for a diverse enough range. the sims don't have to use these specific swatches though I do think they need this type of system the colour swatches in the future.
What do you think about the swatches and colour in the game :)

How the Sims hinders itself by lack of customization: Colour sliders
The sims 4 new slider system that they added in CAS with new swatches to for skintones, this had me thinking of a new method colour sliders a brightness slider and saturation slider and they should implement them in multiple aspects of the game. Though they still need more swatches however number doesn't have to be so big, just 54.
The reason why these 54 colours need to be added is because with the colours we have now even with the slider of saturation and brightness you still would be able to get a full range of colours like purples.
The reason why I chose these colours is because For me to get the 154 swatches I started off with just the brights, and used the saturation and brightness sliding scaling to get the other colours.
The reason why in included the Neons is because the neon colour I didn't used the saturation or brightness they are they are the special colours (technically brights). The neutral colours it was difficult to find a base colour for all the neutral.
With these swatches added would make the sims 4 more cohesive with their items, This is how the game should've started and I hope more sliders they add helps with future projects.
