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.
Palette for Pixeljoint's 18 colour palette competition. This palette takes into consideration human vision and is balanced on top of it, making it "human-centric" as I like to call it. The aim is to make as balanced and versatile a palette as possible within the given limitations; with the key balancing feature being the elimination and inclusion of certain colours based on their importance to the human mind. The distribution of the colours is skewed in such a way that the red-yellow range of the spectrum receives the most attention, followed by blue and green. The reasoning behind this is that this colour range in particular is the most important to our mind (most obviously because it accounts for all parts of the human skin). The palette's light and dark colours are distributed in such a way that there are more light colours than dark ones, with the reasoning being that we place more importance on the lights rather than on the shadows of an object or scene. In addition, the brightness and darkness of the black and white colours has been slightly neutered, to allow for a smoother transitions overall. Ultimately this should prove to be a balanced and flexible palette.
