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.

RGB Principle

Created by GravityWeeb

I've been using these colors for over 10 years. It started simple with just Red/White/Black, (which I still use). As time went on, I wanted to add some related brands that ultimately do very different things. (Music, Pixel Art, Sprite Sheets, Character Design and Audio Engineering to name a few.)

The principle was simple. Use the letters "RGB", and have the resulting color relate to one another. Most often use #FFFFFF and #232323.

I've used these colors for Character Design, Pixel Art, Sprite Sheets and even Music Branding. As you can see, at one point I combined the R/B in "RGB" to create a strong, saturated purple. #E1E1E1 and #4c4646 are used very rarely.
