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.

3-Bit Grayscale 
New

Submitted by skeddles

8 shades of gray, calculated to be evenly spaced. It's rounded to the nearest value, since it doesn't divide evenly, so certain programs might give you slightly different values, but this one gives alternating 36/37 values between shades, making it more symmetrical, whereas other methods turn out more random (though are perceptually identical).

8-Bit RGBM 

Created by A.J. Otero

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!

Calccurate Game Boy 

Created by Luke LeFevers

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.

4-Bit RGB 

Submitted by A.J. Otero

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.
