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. All palettes can be downloaded and imported into your pixelling software of choice (learn how). You can also try a our palette of the day or a random palette, or a palette from our Rejected Palettes list.

Coldwood8

Created by Anubi

A palette containing two color ramps, blue and red, which share their same brightest and darkest color (white and black). The colors were made to be flexible, so the blues can work as a bright green too, while the reds can also work as a saturated brown.
