K, as you've been watching, I've been working on palettes that seem almost impossible to use and don't look as good as they function.

So what do you think? How much is enough?



Is this too little?



Is this too much?

How many shades and hues does one need?

Is there a such thing a color greed?

Why am I asking in rhyme?

Why... *gets shot*

Seriously, though. I'm digging for color perfection with so little to work with it gets strange.

1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit...

Anyway, discuss.

I like the first one, very ordered... but all are high saturation, there's no bland, dusty colours... very bright, good for cartoony stuff.

Those are the NES colors

my asking was not of the two palette sets I gave, but of all palettes in general.

256 colors is enough.
Unless you were going for an NES look on purpose, I don't see why you wouldn't take full advantage of ZC's palette.
