Asympix18 

Created by Exidelo

Palette for Pixeljoint's 18 colour palette competition. This palette takes into consideration human vision and is balanced on top of it, making it "human-centric" as I like to call it. The aim is to make as balanced and versatile a palette as possible within the given limitations; with the key balancing feature being the elimination and inclusion of certain colours based on their importance to the human mind. The distribution of the colours is skewed in such a way that the red-yellow range of the spectrum receives the most attention, followed by blue and green. The reasoning behind this is that this colour range in particular is the most important to our mind (most obviously because it accounts for all parts of the human skin). The palette's light and dark colours are distributed in such a way that there are more light colours than dark ones, with the reasoning being that we place more importance on the lights rather than on the shadows of an object or scene. In addition, the brightness and darkness of the black and white colours has been slightly neutered, to allow for a smoother transitions overall. Ultimately this should prove to be a balanced and flexible palette.

CGA Mibend4 

Created by Exidelo

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.
