My second try at 1-bit palettes. Unlike Nostalgi2 (another palette of mine) which was desaturated, this palette goes the opposite way, focusing on pastel colors by having a bright gray and saturated white. Now you can truly go for a soft look in your 1-bit art.
Some examples. - by Anubi
This is the same image used as an example in Polyducks’s Mac Paint Palette. It’s a remix of the Mac Paint interface and Susan Kare's 1bit Geisha, which was shipped alongside Mac Paint and famously used to promote its potential as an art program.

Created by Doph
A palette inspired by weekly manga anthologies. A cool off-white to evoke cheap paper, and a warm off-black to evoke newspaper ink, with two midtones to emulate the effect of screentones.
