The midtones are interchangeable so have fun with it. Made for The War on Christmas to do baroque stuff but if you are really gonna do that then you'll probably need to add or change some shadow tones to match the subject. Fortunately you have many midtone slots to make that exchange

I experimented with different calculations to make a palette that represents the original Game Boy's green-tinted screen well, while still definitely being calculated. (It looks more like the Pocket though) What I ended up with: Green component increases by 1/3 every color. Red and blue increase by 1/3 every color, starting from color 2.

A 2-bit palette designed to look a little moldy. So named because the green was inspired by a billiards table.
