The Lospec Palette List is a database of palettes for pixel art.
We include both palettes that originate from old hardware that could only display a few colors, as well as palettes created by pixel artists specifically for making art.
A highly contrasted 8-color palette crafted specifically for synthwave, cyberpunk, and vaporwave aesthetics. It features a deep, cool-toned monochromatic ramp (from near-black purple to muted lilac) perfect for building dark sci-fi environments, cityscapes, and UI backgrounds. This dark base is sharply contrasted by piercing neon magenta, vibrant cyan, and a toxic yellow-green to make action elements, glowing screens, and magic effects pop instantly. Capped off with a soft pastel pink for retro-dreamy transitions. Ideal for top-down arcades, fast-paced action games, and moody tech art.

An 8-color palette ranging from neon blue raspberry to a deep grape-y purple. Great for space and underground scenes where you need a little bit of otherworldly glow.

A neon blue, misty lavender, red-violet, and deep purple image of celestial clouds, shimmery stars, swirly galaxies, and delicious berries floating through the void of space. Delicious. (This almost sounds like a cereal description. Now I'm hungry) - by

Had a lot of fun making this one - a fantasy image of a winged scarab on a bejewled circuitboard in the lush blues, greens, and violets of the Spectral Scarab palette. - by

Don't drink this! Inky purples shift to blue, cyan, and towards yellow green as brightness increases, and saturation falls off in the highlight shades making this palette perfect for creating interesting glow and lighting effects. Using the brightest shades next to the darkest grants an intense amount of contrast for areas of focus while using the adjacent shades together grants a satisfyingly gradual transition, making this palette versatile in use for both smooth shading and vibrant pops of intensity.

i wanted a palette with a magical but intense feel... so here you go, a hopefully-not-too-edgy black to red monoramp. there's some variations of shading in there. + you can "choose" between the orange and pink because i liked both vibes (or use them both, i'm not your mom).

A palette intended for those neon lights drowning in fog, you can use it for whatever you want though. This is my first palette, and as such will not be the best.
