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.
A palette inspired by the gameboy and the trans flag (which you can see in the 2nd example, thanks a lot Beta Lyn!), T-Lollipop has 4 colors that give it a dreamlike, and/or night-time feeling. equipped with a very strong hue-shifting, which can even make this palette have two color ramps instead of one, anything can be possible.

a spin-off of Nostalgic-Dreams (another palette of mine) with more shades and new values across all 12 different colors, equipped with Blue/Gray, Red/Yellow and Green shades, reminiscent of some great memories of the past. Not really a sequel to Nostalgic-Dreams, but more so as its own thing. Featured in the 12th of May of 2023 as a limitation for a Pixel Dailies theme (Bun).

A simple, versatile 64-color palette, with ramp branches and several ramps of gray hues. The culmination of my trial and (mostly) error over the last 4 months, pretty proud of where it ended up. Enjoy!

The palette I'm using nowadays for my pixel arts, 14 colors distributed along 5 color ramps (Gray, Green, Blue, Red, Brown), aiming to be flexible in many circunstances, while still not having way too many colors. The most common colors were picked for this palette, which should cover most of your ideas.

An example showing how this palette can be used. There's also the color ramps at the left side, which shows how some of these ramps (such as Green and Blue, or Red and Brown) connect with each other. - by

A large palette with a lot of variety, created with the purpose of drawing characters and fanarts. Even though I used it a lot for characters, it can also be used for props and backgrounds. The palette was originally created to draw my OC Puffy and Kirby, and that's why is called 'Puffy Poyo'. Fun fact, 'Poyo' also sounds like chicken in spanish, so it's kinda funny.
