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.

Sunshine Valley

Created by Poltergasm

A master palette full of vibrant colors I made specifically for a game, however it could definitely be used for other art pieces.

Mupix9

Created by Mupix

Mupix9 is a simple and compact master palette for multi-purpose usage. The intention behind this palette is to show how versatile some shades can be. The teal shades can be used for water, sky, and even foliage, while the browns and yellows can be used for dirt, tree trunks, and skin tones.

I made a bunch of different things honestly. I started with Rick and Morty, then I made a bunch of different colored hearts, after that, I made a cloud and a giant block. This is just a bunch of random crap honestly lmao - by Joy Pink

sCRJ XXXVI

Created by StudioCRJ

StudioCRJ’s first pixel art color palette! Designed with simplicity and versatility in mind, this color palette has 6½ ramps and thirty-six colors in total. This palette ranges on the cooler side—with the grays ranging towards blue—, but you can still use it for almost any pixel art project. I may create an improved palette with more colors if there’s enough support and demand for it!

Shanty

Created by Poltergasm

Just another palette I put together for a game. Pirate themed this time, hence the name "Sea Shanty". If you're wondering about the low contrast blues and greens, I used them primarily for background objects far away.
