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.

Hilda32

Created by skeddles

This is based off the cartoon Hilda, which has some beautiful art, in no small part due to the colors. I created this by grabbing colors from over a dozen screenshots from the show, and picking out the most important colors. I originally had over 70, but reduced it to a much smaller 32 so it would better reflect the cartoon's simplicity. This is intended to be used for daytime scenes, I did not include dusk or night scenes, as I felt they wouldn't mix well (they could possibly made as separate palettes). I originally made this in 2020 but wasn't totally happy with it until I posted in with some other unfinished palettes on discord, and there seemed to be some demand to finish it. So I spend a few hours putting some final touches on it, and am pretty happy with the result! I would reccomend looking at some hilda screenshots for ideas on how to use it.

Aragon16

Created by Space-AgeWrangler

Designed for daytime landscapes, with a range of browns, greys, yellows, blues and several greens with varying saturations to adapt to different kinds of vegetation. PS: It should written as Aragón but I don't know if it would actually let you name it that.
