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.
I experimented with different calculations to make a palette that represents the original Game Boy's green-tinted screen well, while still definitely being calculated. (It looks more like the Pocket though) What I ended up with: Green component increases by 1/3 every color. Red and blue increase by 1/3 every color, starting from color 2.

This is essentially the 9-bit RGB palette, but reduced from 512 to 256 colors by combining the least significant red and blue bits, resulting in a 3-bit green channel, 2-bit red and blue channels, and a 1-bit Magenta channel, so RGBM stands for red-green-blue-magenta. Unlike the similar Uzebox palette, this one provides pure grays. P.S., I entered all of the color numbers manually, which took a while, so I hope there aren't any errors!

1 red bit, 2 green bits, 1 blue bit. Similar in concept to the Uzebox palette, which also uses bit combinations for the RGB color channels, in that case adding up to 8 bits in total, rather than 4.
