named after a root beer flavoured candy that soothes the throat. developed as two separate 2-bit palettes, "root beer float" and "tiger tail".a little difficult to get the hang of, but nevertheless rewarding!

Swathed in warm tones, this palette is perfect for capturing dynamic lighting in the dreamy style of your favorite baroque frescoes. Gentle greens with warmer highlights and slightly cooler lowlights coupled with the pops of contrast can capture a garden so decadent that you'll feel transported to an Oscar Wilde novel.

A warm, candle-lit palette restricted to 8 colours (no transparency). Meant for things like early NES graphics with a sepiatone feel.
Created by Digi
Eight warm hues ranging from deep, rich browns to orangey-pink, all the way to yellow with a pop of a surprisingly cool off white for extra contrast. Lose yourself in an ocean of shag carpet, wood paneling, and the groovy warm hues of the late 70s and 80s. Inspired by some original carpet in my mid century home, and altered to make a decent palette.

For images simulating old photos, in sepia tone.
Created by Digi
This palette was painstakingly designed with hand picked colors intended to recreate the chromatic aberration and other visual effects of a CRT monitor. 32 Colors, 12 Ramps which can each be used individually for monochromatic pieces or together for subtle variations and extra depth. Eight base colors with a sepia tone each have three additional variations in hue leaning to red, green, and blue, which gives the impression of the eight base colors being more neutral (although in reality they're each quite warm).
This example showcases some possible uses of the palette including the intended use of utilizing all colors to mimic the effects of a CRT monitor as shown in the first example as well as how it may look to use the Ramps as individual monochrome palettes as shown in the second example. - by Digi
