Should I use this palette?

Post by Quillax »

So, I decided to take a break from the Go Keen, Go series, and I thought of making a trilogy. Though, I decided to use a new palette for the trilogy (which are colors that are taken from the colors of my Super Mario sprites) and here's how they looked:

What do you think of this palette? Should I use it for my trilogy?

These colors look very soft and nice. I say yes. But make sure the contrast between elements is high enough - the ceiling plants for example blend in with the grey background.

Bold reds and dark purples. I like the looks of it. The color changes might compliment what you're trying to achieve in the graphics for your mod. You've made 4 Keen mods already (and more coming), so I say you should at least mess with the palette in one of your projects. :crazy

Strong, darker colours that work well with each other to produce DaVince's interpretation of a soft palette. Nice.

I tend to like stronger contrasts between light and dark colours more in ega, but depends on what you are doing with it.

If palette patching is involved I usually like if the hue is changed recognizably. See the master of palette patching Benvolio's mods for example. Vanished to Venus is an excellent example of what I mean
Also Bonevelous' 24h mod in the bloog brain shows an outstanding original palette.
