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.

Iridescent Crystal

Created by LostInIndigo

A 48-color multipurpose palette based on the spectrum of colors found in opals and iridescent crystals. Lots of nice pastels, with tints and shades so it's easy to build depth in objects. All of the colors are more cool-toned overall to maintain a cohesive feel throughout. Really good for fantasy environments.

A fantasy image of a witch's workshop with crystals, a scrying orb, candles, charms, and all sorts of other fun stuff. Made as an example for the Iridescent Crystal Palette, so of course it features mutliple iridescent crystals! I had a lot of fun making this and am really proud of it. Can't forget the garlic to keep away the vampires! - by LostInIndigo
