8 shades of gray, calculated to be evenly spaced. It's rounded to the nearest value, since it doesn't divide evenly, so certain programs might give you slightly different values, but this one gives alternating 36/37 values between shades, making it more symmetrical, whereas other methods turn out more random (though are perceptually identical).

A reduced version of a grayscale palette I've made some time ago. Meant to give a softer look to 1-bit art.

A dubious, moldy yellow monochrome inspired by Level 0 of the Backrooms horror setting with its yellow walls, lighting, and carpet.
On the left: A bottle of almond water with some slivered almonds, a nostalgic blue sky, and a faded picture of a lemon. On the right: a surprisingly cautious entity peeks around a wall in Backrooms Level 0. - by StellarBee
A couple more famous Backrooms levels, commonly known as the Poolrooms and the End/the library level. - by StellarBee

A bleak, grayscale palette shattered against a crimson void, where symbols unravel into stark contrasts and unsettling visions.
