This palette is based on the Game Boy Color game Survival Kids 2, which was only released in Japan. I use a bunch of screenshots from the game and extracted the colors, then reduced it as much as possible without losing too much of the original charm. The original game had more subtle variations between shades on different maps, and probably has hundreds of different colors, but i think this approximation is like 95% accurate, and much easier to use. Black is used heavily on all parts of the games, the next 16 colors are used for sprites and cutscenes, and the rest of the palette is for background environment tiles. It should be noted this is based on the output from an emulator, and the real game would be much more desatured on an actual gameboy, but I like how they look with these bright colors. Different emulators can also display the colors differently, so this isn't an official palette, just an interpretation. In the end I converted it to 15-bit RGB (each value is divisible by 8) like the gameboy color uses, the difference was negligible.
