The obviously-CGA-inspired palette used by Horsey Game's sprites and horses. The game does use a few extra colors in various places, but those are one-off exceptions - these colors are the ones shared between sprites.

A set of colors inspired by Kirby games. I usually design enemies inspired by kirby characters, normally creating small rounded creatures. I set up this palette with the most common colors I use when creating my arts. It may resemble the colors of a snes. Hope you like π

A highly contrasted 8-color palette crafted specifically for synthwave, cyberpunk, and vaporwave aesthetics. It features a deep, cool-toned monochromatic ramp (from near-black purple to muted lilac) perfect for building dark sci-fi environments, cityscapes, and UI backgrounds. This dark base is sharply contrasted by piercing neon magenta, vibrant cyan, and a toxic yellow-green to make action elements, glowing screens, and magic effects pop instantly. Capped off with a soft pastel pink for retro-dreamy transitions. Ideal for top-down arcades, fast-paced action games, and moody tech art.

F O O D S (and a drink, lol). My submission for a challenge in Pixel Art Indonesia FB group. Some of these are Indonesian food (martabak & jalangkote), and some more (corn dog, dates, iced tea) is worldwide known. Very nice palette I must say, it was a fun experiment. Hope you enjoy!! - by Nora Ko

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₯
