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.
1bit monitor glow - a bold, punchy 1-bit palette by Polyducks for making art with two colours. A mildly cyan black with a mildly green white - the contrast helps the colours ping.

A collection of colours used in early print media; sampled from various examples here: http://oa.letterformarchive.org/
The colours mostly rely on a black/red/orange/white scheme, but I brewed up companion cyan-greens which bridge across the blues/yellows.
For best results, use in big, punchy blocks.
