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.
A palette inspired by the gameboy and a certain flag (which you can see in the 2nd example, thanks a lot Beta Lyn!), T-Lollipop has 4 colors that give it a dreamlike, and/or night-time feeling. equipped with a very strong hue-shifting, which can even make this palette have two color ramps instead of one, anything can be possible.

A refined version of a palette I've made back then but never uploaded, which results in a mildly desaturated palette, focusing on the yellow to purple hues. In comparison with its first version, a red and black shade were added, which makes the transition between yellow and purple more smoother. Some existing colors were also modified to make them more versatile.

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.

My second try at 1-bit palettes. Unlike Nostalgi2 (another palette of mine) which was desaturated, this palette goes the opposite way, focusing on pastel colors by having a bright gray and saturated white. Now you can truly go for a soft look in your 1-bit art.

A palette based around warm colors, having saturated shades reminiscent of a Shiny Sunset in the 80s, which can make your art pop-out from the rest with its strong hue-shifting.

The palette I'm using nowadays for my pixel arts, 14 colors distributed along 5 color ramps (Gray, Green, Blue, Red, Brown), aiming to be flexible in many circunstances, while still not having way too many colors. The most common colors were picked for this palette, which should cover most of your ideas.

An example showing how this palette can be used. There's also the color ramps at the left side, which shows how some of these ramps (such as Green and Blue, or Red and Brown) connect with each other. - by
