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.
In this palette, I reflected on what I've learned about pixel art in the past months, and reworked my first (and honestly pretty bad) palette, DR- Darkworld Neon. I mixed new colors for each of those represented in the old palette, resulting in a new palette that's bright but not eyeball-scorching and actually works well together. As shown in the example, pretty much any of the lighter colors can be used as highlights for any of the darker colors, allowing you to change the warmth of the lighting.

Scenes 1 and 2 were taken from other palette samples I've done and painstakingly recolored to showcase the beauty of this palette. Scene 3 is a part of a larger project I am working on but have not yet submitted here. Scene 4 shows a color/theme select screen for a hypothetical video game. - by

A dubious, moldy yellow monochrome inspired by Level 0 of the Backrooms horror setting with its yellow walls, lighting, and carpet.

An oceanic palette for little crustaceans exploring all their favorite places, with pink and green highlights reminiscent of Fog Canyon's distinctive colors. The pale pink can even be mixed with that deep gray color to get a purply brown, if you want to draw warmer colored pillbugs. (The third palette in my series of palettes inspired by games that I like. All credit for the game Hollow Knight and the character (Quirrel) this palette is based on goes to Team Cherry!)

All scenes pictured in the sample (Temple of the Black Egg, Fog Canyon, and the Blue Lake) are locations in the game "Hollow Knight" by Team Cherry. Quirrel, a character from Hollow Knight, is also featured in this sample. All credit for both the character and the settings goes to Team Cherry! - by

Colors used on the sprite of Marmu, a cheerful, ghostly caterpillar in the game "Hollow Knight" by Team Cherry (The sprite can be found here: https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Marmu). The palette itself looks crisp and leafy- the sort of palette a caterpillar might enjoy, in fact. The dark blue-black and the light yellow can act as beginning and ending points for both the red-brown ramp and the green ramp. It works for spring, fall, and summer scenes, and perhaps even for cozy indoor winter scenes with sweaters and hot cocoa.

Two ramps. Five shared colors. Seven souls? Inspired by both the darkness and vibrance of Toby Fox's Underground, these classic pixely colors are perfect for some classic pixely art. Both the warm ramp and cool ramp are bookended with black, gray and purple on one end, and gold and white on the other. I picked magenta and scarlet rather than red and orange to allow for a greater variety in reds and purples, and because orange really isn't that prevalent in Undertale. (The latest in my series of palettes inspired by games that I like.)

3 scenes featuring characters from Toby Fox's "Undertale": Flowey sitting ominously on a floating island with the player's Soul floating above him; Mysteryman (theorized to be Gaster) and a small yellow bird playing in the snow; Sans, Toriel, and Papyrus on a black background along with many colorful hearts, including a heart locket. - by

(Note from the future: this palette is awful; only use it if you want a challenge. Otherwise, use DR- Neon Reflection instead.) The first in my series of palettes inspired by games I like, DR- Darkworld Neon is rainbow of bright colors picked from the Dark World outfits of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei in the game Deltarune by Toby Fox. Aside from one of the blues, which I modified into a lighter, off-white shade, and slight changes to the yellows to make them more distinct, all of these colors can be found in the game.

Both "The Hollow Knight", titular character of the game by Team Cherry, and color-coded Souls from the game Undertale by Toby Fox, are depicted in the sample. Credit for both characters/concepts goes to their respective creators, Team Cherry (Hollow Knight, The Hollow Knight) and Toby Fox (Undertale, the Souls) - by

What is it like to live in between the Essence that makes up the world of dreams? I took the most distinct colors of essence, blended them together from lightest to darkest, and then removed the original colors to bring you an ethereal range of pastels. (The second palette in my series of palettes inspired by games that I like. All credit for the game Hollow Knight and the concept of Dream Essence used in it goes to Team Cherry!)
