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.
Lately I've been experimenting with SNES style palettes of 15-colors + transparency for my fantasy console. This is an attempt at designing a sort of "system palette," broadly inclusive of the full color spectrum. My strategy was to get as many color ramps as possible, covering each of the 6 primary and secondary colors, and gray. With black and white, each ramp other than gray has 4 entries. I tried to match colors for relatively even percieved brightness, but fudged it a bit where I thought it might help mixing between ramps.

A refined version of my "Z64" palette. I've spent more time on smooth ramping, swapped out a few colours to balance the spectrum, and done a bunch of tinkering with sprite creation to get this just right. A vibrant selection intended to cover all the needs of a retro game or art project. β₯

A 6 color palette I've used to draw a big snail with a village on top of its shell. I've been told the desaturated yellow and green, coupled with a purple accent, feel quite nostalgic.
