Vaporcraze 8 

Created by Digi

Inspired by the playful colors and designs of the late 90s and vaporwave asthetics, this hyper saturated palette is perfect for abstract pieces, fonts, and UI designs thanks to the high contrast and attention grabbing harmonies. Don't be fooled by the unconventional shifts though - it can yield surprisingly pleasing space scenes, skies, and even full landscapes! Deep indigo shifts through playful purples before skyrocketing to warmer magenta and orange, then veers crazily into green before finally landing on a crisp off white highlight.

Autumn Fire 12 

Created by River

Autumn Fire 12 is a small 12 color palette with warm tones and a comforting, nostalgic vibe. It has enough color to create a lot of visual variety, but it's also good for challenging yourself to work with simpler palettes.

A palette directly based on the stargate's iconic colors, an absolutely crazed choice, but pays off well.

    Trimmed together screenshots from the GameGear puzzle game version of Stargate (Whose OST gets so damn tiring so damn fast)

    Mind the Jaundice on O'Neil, but he also had the yellow skin in the actual version of Stargate on the SNES. You really should not play it though...
