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.

GB Pastel
New

Created by Michael Connor

A palette designed for use on the GameBoy Color, where each main tone shares the same purple shade accent (with an alternate navy blue accent). Also, the colors each have a hint of blue to aid in palette cohesion. This palette may be expanded in the future, but this is all I've done for the moment. Inspired by classic Pokemon's color techniques.
