Misc. Palettes Showoff thread - Notable Threads

I think I finally made a good grassland palette.

Comments?

ask me if i give a f*ck...

Livin4Jesus: Very good looking cave palette.

Hobz: That's a good grassland palette you got there. The slight dullness gives it a a sort of cloudy atmosphere.

Anyways, I've got 3 palettes here:

Palette 1

Palette 2

Palette 3

Thoughts?

Thanks master s.
Your palettes also look really nice, although the grass decoration looks pretty bad in all 3 and in palette 1 the dirt spots are a little bright.

How does that look?

@Hobz: I love the gloomy green palettes. Although I prefer the last installment. Still, great stuff.

@Master S: Really cool looking palletes. Imo, in the second one the bg is a bit too bright, and in the third one the color of the grass looks saturated, as well as the dark part of the mountain bg.

@Hobz: Awesome stuff. It has a moss-ish feeling to it.

Meh.

I like those HDLX! The first palette in particular looks very interesting.

pretty cool.
I like it

I finally decided to make a custom palette for once:

I really like the sunset HDMA. It makes the scenery more original.

I tried making a Halloween-ish palette.

Does it look alright?
fakedit: yeah, the dinosaur looks pretty bad, doesn't it. Oh well. :\

Another castle palette of my hand, hope y'all like it

I like it because it mixes in with sprites and other objects.

This looks great!

This one looks kinda clashy... A bright sky blue going into a orange-ish gradient? Not a good combination... You'll need a much better gradient. @ K3nny: That... Palette is... Beautiful... :') Reminds me of a beautiful sunrise. Though it's a bit too orange... Try darkening it a little. @ Hobz: Nice! I like how you darkened the background and made the grass orange. Also, the Dino Rhino looks great. ;) @ Yonowaaru: The background kinda clashes with the sprites... Try adding just a touch of red to the sprites, and it should be good.

Revelation 20-21: He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

In my oppinion the colours are a little too red. But I admit, making a good red pallete isn't easy.
Try to make the colours a little less saturated, maybe add more orange or yellow instead of pure red. Or make the colours on the right of the gradient brighter, that could also make it look better.

I made a red castle palette to demonstrate a good... red castle palette:

Yonowaaru: yeah, Aqualakitu is right, it isn't very good, no offense.
There are a few major problems with your palette:

1. TOO MUCH SATURATION(biggest problem)! You seem to have selected your colors from the top of the color-picking-box. Big mistake. Colors chosen from around the vertical-middle are generally much better looking, and a lot easier on the eyes.

2. Not enough variation. It seems the gradient that makes up your palette is one color made lighter on one end and darker on the other. Palettes generally looks better when each side of the gradient is relatively different. Notice how in my palette one side of the palette is sort of a darkish pale red, while the other side is a pale yellow-orange. These variations look good, usually, and have better results.

3. Unchanged white. Notice the top of castle walls/floors/ceilings(not the castle blocks) have white tops. You should edit the white, it contrasts way too much with the rest of the castle wall. I usually place the most-left color of the gradient on the Color 8 space, not 7(it's the 9th square on horizontal rows counting the transparency color). It doesn't show up in the palette, but I copy that color after creating the gradient, and paste it over the white color of my palette. That looks good, usually.

So, yeah, read that, and you should be good to go(and remember, practice makes perfect).

Your layout has been removed.

Without reading spud's (what I assume) helpful hints on making castle palettes, I decided to try to make some.

I really hate working with yellow, considering I ended up with brown more than anything. Shrug.
But yeah, for my first non-grassland palettes how are they?

Those are pretty cool Hobz! It may look better if the foreground is darker than the background's pallete. They look too monochromatic in my opinion. Darkening the back area color a bit may help too.

Yeah i think all these "good palette examples" aren't that good themselves. The BG and FG are the same color, brightness and saturation, and the whole palette is just based around one color without any reason. Boring.

I disagree. This image I especially like:

I think the palette and saturation are great! Not sure about the info box though. I also noticed the palette of the lava. The BG is actually slighly lighter than the FG. I'm a vanilla hacker here, and I say this image is pretty cool.
