Yeah, my palette is tricky!
I experienced the same dificulties you did. Also, add new colors arenot that easy (for me). I try to be perfectionist. I have some "neutralizer" colors on my palette, which are used as shade or light for two different colors, sometimes three. The second darkest color, the purple (#53275c) for example. Add new colors is tricky since I will need to add a new shade color. Check this:
This happened when I added the blue. I had to add a darker blue, cause the purple didn't match well egnough with the blue.
I agree that the grass limit with the sand is attracting attention. It uses the darkest color (black) and the purple as shadow. I guess the fact that the black dots are discontinuous are contributing to that. I will try to reduce the contrast and making them more continuous.
Orange. I missed it too. When I was building the palette, restricting myself to 16 colors, I had to ditch orange tones. I will relax more on the restriction and try to build a 20 colors palette, maybe. I also wonder if 24 colors would be too much. (I like to keep it multiple of .
I like the roof. A lot. If I show you the previous one, you will like the current more:
I plan to make more pixels and post here next time. Also with a new palette. Thank you for the advices, @Amiborous!
