32colour palette [V0.9.5]

[Grimsane]

I have been making alot of palettes lately, might share more, been making 16 colour palettes mostly, but I noticed a distinct lack of 32 colour palettes around so here you are.

no referencing of other palettes or anything, mostly arbitrarily chosen colours ramped and then tweaked, built ontop of a 16 colour palette if I recall, worked on it on and off for a week so far I think, the ramps are placeholders so ignore, or feel free to come up with your own ramps, and ignore the 2 checker colours in the background they are NOT a part of the palette, and yeah this is the palette I've been testing on the forums.

feel free to experiment test and post results here if you like, feel free to use it for anything, giving credit and pm'ing or sharing what you do will also would be appreciated if you decide to use.

*well I'll try getting some multiple palette files here:
  
.gpl (Gimp, Blender, etc.) : W V C
.pal Graphics Gale: W V C

[Lachie Dazdarian]

Do you have a GraphicsGale ready copy?

[rikfuzz]

What really sold me on Arne's and DawnBringer's palette work, was their incredible mockups.  I'd like to see this in action too!

[Grimsane]

well you just made me spend a few hours putting this together, but it also was also giving me some practice using Tiled map editor and map making in general, pretty slap dash layout and tiles to some degree.

other junk using the palette



--------
and I am playing with the concept of having different versions for neutral, warm and cool.
so one particular cue can be chosen to have subtle mood differences and slightly different ranges.

and some of the test remaps from the forum

[Grimsane]

whoa f**king awesome   thanks for trying it and sharing man, great colour combinations
did you feel the lack or need of any colours while drawing with it?


*temperature variant test and 0.91 colours (only light purple and darkness shift on a brown for contrast in a couple tests)

and another mockup, but this is actually just a revamp to the palette, of something else I had going

[imnumberfour]

This. This must be a game.

mine! The pallet does it justice.

[Carnivac]

It lacks my most commonly used colour.   

[Grimsane]

@imnumberfour check the creativity thread it's in 3D and it's planned as a game, or atleast a playable tech demo, low spec top down JRPG kinda thing with pixel sprites


experimenting with colour mixing via dither

*^updated, was basically luminescent grass heh

It lacks my most commonly used colour.  

which colour? and I'm aware it's not the strongest at flesh tones at the moment  

[Carnivac]

A sorta reddish pinkish magenta.  Turns out a lot of my work uses a similar colour and I didn't even realise.  I guess I'm just drawn to that colour for some reason.  Also I find this 32 colour palette a bit drab for my tastes though to be fair I'm not keen on Arne's or Dawnbringer's palettes either (and quite tired of seeing them used so darn often)

Could just be personal taste.   Same reason I don't like the C64 palette.

I may just be being stupid, but I can't find it. Creativity thread? :/

@imnumberfour
here it's in the general boards, up the top stickied.

@carnivac aww okay, well due to your feedback..

I present the Vibrant version  (v0.5)


I'm probably gonna ditch the Neutral version, it's boring, I think I'll maintain and pursue Warm, Cool and Vibrant versions/variants of the palette

and a dither palette for the Warm palette

[Carnivac]

@carnivac aww okay, well due to your feedback..

I present the Vibrant version  (v0.5)

Nice!  That's more my sorta thing (though there could be a bolder yellow, for use in fire and explosions and such but I'm nitpicking).   I likes me some vibrance.

[Grimsane]

done and done, Vibrant version Lvl up!


*re-ramped the right side to perceptual value

[Carnivac]

done and done, Vibrant version Lvl up!

Cool.  Ok I would also change that 73,110,97 'green' to a proper greeny green.  That one's so desaturated it looks very close to the gray that's under it on the right.  Maybe  something like 39,111,60 (very quickly chosen value) or similar.

[Grimsane]

done and adjusted some other tones.



< after the updated green now that's vibrant 

[Carnivac]

Yes, it can actually be called GREEN now.  

[Batzy]

Love this thread 

done and adjusted some other tones.

Will do some tests with these later.

Now that makes me feel more stupid..Haha.

[Ashbad]

Wasn't a fan of the warm/cool variants, but that vibrant one looks very appealing 

[Grimsane]

thanks for the response, interest & feedback guys really appreciate it.

Will do some tests with these later.

cool looking forward to seeing it.

Wasn't a fan of the warm/cool variants, but that vibrant one looks very appealing 

well I was aware not everyone would dig the more naturalistic stylings of the palette, and Carnivac went and confirmed that, and I figured what the heck why not make a vibrant set, haven't noticed too many vibrant palettes around besides retro consoles palettes and colour spaces

[Batzy]

 

oh and thanks to Dusty for pointing out few little things that needed to be fixed.

[Grimsane]

nice work batzy  might work well with a lighter shadow tone, and the roof connection read really strangely, looks really cool really distinct styling 


did these heh


flesh tones not too bad, (gah looks awful in contrast with the forum backgrounds though *added bordered version, and adjusted dudes jaw looked too straight at 1x, should've just given him an anime chin instead)

[Jeremy]

I'm liking the vibrant one best so far  

Saved to my palettes folder, definitely going to have a play when I have time.
Recolouring ~16 colour works from the PJ HoF can be a good, quicker, exercise too:

[Batzy]

test2



could make a game out of these soon 

[Grimsane]

great Idea Jeremy, @lol at the hidden messages & that cool ghost pirate thingy. where they just pixeled with indexed colour doubles?

done Cure's piece so far as an exploration


and consequently some updates to the Vibrant & Cold palette



will do more soon, also I'll try updating the OP

@Batzy nice work those checkers and lines are messing with my head a lil

[Mùller]

i'm also tried use that pallet,just for fun.

i'm found cool.


EDIT: it just more a attempt using that palette

of certain mode that palette for me is weird, must be because i dont have practice these colors.


~~

[Grimsane]

nice work Mùller that's a really effective use of the palette 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

I like the palette a lot but one problem I see with it is that there is quite a large difference the two brightest yellows (not counting the one that is almost white). I tried to replicate one of the forums smileys to look almost the same but found that there was no color to make it look nearly the same only quite a bit darker and quite a bit lighter. So maybe you could make a new yellow.
Edit: I used the vibrant pallet for this not sure about the other ones though.

[Grimsane]

good point, yeah it's only V, wish I read that before updating the OP, V update:



and did this


far right is a revision of an old sprite of mine
