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.
CGA was a graphics card released in 1981 for the IBM PC. The standard mode uses one of two 4-color palettes (each with a low-intensity and high-intensity mode), but a hack allows use of all 16. #cga

Altered version of the CGA mode 5 palette at high intensity (CGA PALETTE 2 (HIGH) on here). The colours were modified to all have closer values to each other, to have a relationship between the red and white, to have a relationship the between the cyan and black, and to have an overall hue shift to red-orange (I call it minium). The name of the palette derives from Minium, Bend (as in colour/hue bend), and the number of colours in it. The aim is to create a palette with similar limitations to the original, but with more flexibility and natural colour schemes.

Greatly inspired by the CGA/EGA era in the DOS gaming days fresh outta both the entire 1980s and early 1990s, this very newest palette by me takes all 16 of the main base colors of the original CGA/EGA and quite dials back the overly blatant high contrast to just the right balance — as well as vastly improving the hue shifting of them — making them all rather more sleeker, more modernized, and much, much better overall while being A LOT easier on the eyes also, quite importantly. This promises to be such a wonderfully handsome new replacement in bringing back those amazing glory days of DOS gaming and ANSI graphics both in such splendid style indeed!!

This is just one example of my AAP-DGA16 palette in action, taking you indeed back to the glory days of CGA/EGA DOS gaming greatness while making all the colors a whole lot easier (and much more fun!!) to see, too! - by

A super gameboy palatte that is inspired by the CGA palatte 3 high! I saw it on asperite and knew I had to make one myself! Just know, it is fairly desaturated, so don't use in oversaturated games.

CICA26 uses CGA as its base palette. Saturation was toned down a bit to be easier on the eyes, and a few additional colors were added.
