A general use palette I made a few years back for a game I did not end up making. I focused a lot on flexible ramps so you can play with color temperature

A highly contrasted 8-color palette crafted specifically for synthwave, cyberpunk, and vaporwave aesthetics. It features a deep, cool-toned monochromatic ramp (from near-black purple to muted lilac) perfect for building dark sci-fi environments, cityscapes, and UI backgrounds. This dark base is sharply contrasted by piercing neon magenta, vibrant cyan, and a toxic yellow-green to make action elements, glowing screens, and magic effects pop instantly. Capped off with a soft pastel pink for retro-dreamy transitions. Ideal for top-down arcades, fast-paced action games, and moody tech art.

A 6 color palette I've used to draw a big snail with a village on top of its shell. I've been told the desaturated yellow and green, coupled with a purple accent, feel quite nostalgic.
