Experimented with micropalettes so splitting them into 2 8's, but editing the graphics on upload is annoying...

Yeah I'm comparing pals with a pointer system, object requests a u16*, system checks if it's currently using that, refcounts it. Not directly comparing entries for speed.

Four color micropalettes are bullshit. It's not like the NES is the only system to use them, but they're profoundly hard to use for drawing more than simple onscreen elements. How Keiji Inafune managed to capture the Disney Afternoon so well on an NES is anyone's guess.

I think Hideki Sato worked with the SG-1000, said, "Fuck these color limitations!," and made a system where color limitations would never be a problem. Sprites have fifteen freaking colors! I mean, they all have those fifteen colors, but it's better than the NES's segregated micropalettes.

I'm also stunned that I love the NES so much as a child. What the hell, me? As an 8-bit system, it kind of sucks. Slow processor, slow refresh rate, four fucking colors per tile (ColecoVision can do sixteen. Just sayin'!), micropalettes that leave the colors segregated... it kind of blows.

From the #MicroPalettes series, this is color palette no. 14, a hot and cold interplay perfectly fit for minimalist, editorial style designs.

Full resource (50 palettes) coming soon.

This beautiful color palette is part of it.

Been working on a new resource over the past week which impacted the flow of #MindfulPalettes, but the outcome is worth it.

Part of a series of MicroPalettes, each consisting of 2 surface colors and 2 accents, which I named functional (primary use) and emotional (CTA value).

New series in progress focusing of minimalist, role-based, accessibility-friendly color palettes, ready to lift and shift into design projects.

Some will be dual-mode, others light or dark-mode only.

Soon available on my Patreon👇 with sneak peeks on Social and pack on Gumroad.
