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 13-color indexed palette intended for retro-inspired pixel art and constrained color workflows. Suitable for game assets and limited palette environments. Converts automatically (in GIMP) to standard Commodore 64, EGA, PCjr (Tandy1000), Pico-8, CGA composite, and many more palettes. Perfect for pixel artists and game asset artists who want versatility that will work almost anywhere. Create graphics once, convert to almost any retro platform, and you're done!

This is a vibrant, 3-Bit RGB alternative where the colors are altered, most notably on green, blue and magenta. Recommended for beginners by me.

F O O D S (and a drink, lol). My submission for a challenge in Pixel Art Indonesia FB group. Some of these are Indonesian food (martabak & jalangkote), and some more (corn dog, dates, iced tea) is worldwide known. Very nice palette I must say, it was a fun experiment. Hope you enjoy!! - by

A refined version of my "Z64" palette. I've spent more time on smooth ramping, swapped out a few colours to balance the spectrum, and done a bunch of tinkering with sprite creation to get this just right. A vibrant selection intended to cover all the needs of a retro game or art project. ♥

A 6 color palette I've used to draw a big snail with a village on top of its shell. I've been told the desaturated yellow and green, coupled with a purple accent, feel quite nostalgic.
