A simplistic color palette made for my fantasy computer, named "DIM-256K". The name "DIM-4" for this palette comes from the fact that it is used within my project, as well as the latter section of the acronym being that it has four colors. It is versatile for art that requires a contrasting gradient of an blood-orange color.
Use by early versions of windows for UI and icons.

Commodore64 was an 8-bit home computer released in 1982.
Since Commodore is making new Commodore 64 consoles expected Fall 2025 I am exploring if the graphics would be capable of doing the kinds of games I want and testing the vibes to see if making a "new" Commodore 64 game would match my aesthetics. This is pretty cool. With actual experienced artists (not me haha), you could do some amazing and fresh stuff with the palette. - by westingtyler
The limited palette helps me get past my indecisiveness and perfectionism.

Trying to see how well the C64 palette can do an urban cityscape.

I made this to see how my wip html game Ballistic Boulevard would look if I remade it for Commodore 64. Pretty good! - by westingtyler
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

Newly recalculated palette for the VIC II (Commodore 64) by Pepto. #c64
Submitted by Chris Moes
This palette was originally created by Mathew Eis and posted to his site. It's a reconstruction of windows 95's 8-bit 256 color palette.
Had trouble getting it working so uploading it here to convert, as well as share with other people looking for it (took me a bit of searching to find)
