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.

A revolutionary computer with its patented Optic Computing 'Krystal Processors', it shows us what the future of computers might just be like like"- Technology Magazine, October 1986

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

Sampled from a genuine Apple Macintosh CRT in 2021, it uses the light blue and faded black to carry 1bit art in the closest you can get to looking at an Apple Macintosh screen's colours without sitting in front of one. Take note that the colours are sampled from a daylight photograph of actual hardware then manually adjusted to best match the image, and is thus a representation of how the art displays as opposed to how it's recorded in software (which definitely would've been true black or white). Anyone has permission to use this palette for any purpose.

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
