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. All palettes can be downloaded and imported into your pixelling software of choice (learn how). You can also try a our palette of the day or a random palette, or a palette from our Rejected Palettes list.
It is hard to make neutral palettes with color. Sometimes, there is just no color that fits the right vibe and you're better off with Black and White. After a lot of research and analysis, I figured dark green with a hint of blue to be the the second best option there. Grayscale Value Difference: 74 ; Cielab Brightness: 61

"LACKING64" because I’m an amateur (Passionate; Creating for fun), even thou I’m satisfied with the palette, there is always pleace for improvements. Based on oil paintings made by Michael C. Hayes and desaturated bright colors used by H.R. Giger. So aim is for Dark Fantasy and Cosmic Horror. After desaturating this palette it gives around 60 shades of gray (depending on the method), but those are quite close to each other. Therefore, there is a potential for it being friendly forcolorblindness, but it’s better to cut it in half.
