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. All palettes can be downloaded and imported into your pixelling software of choice (learn how). You can also try a our palette of the day or a random palette.

A collection of colours used in early print media; sampled from various examples here: http://oa.letterformarchive.org/
The colours mostly rely on a black/red/orange/white scheme, but I brewed up companion cyan-greens which bridge across the blues/yellows.
For best results, use in big, punchy blocks.
