A new palette (if you can tell by the topic) but this time it’s my own! The Vibrant 16 palette! ![pixil-frame-0 (39)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/5/059d96aca49ab7ba541335a7366087d2633a7dfb.png) It’s kinda based of the sweet 16 palette, but otherwise, yes you can use this. What you you think? ---

I also made a GBC palette (15 colors). ![pixil-frame-0 (41)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/0/205063002449f8b9247f88466ebc8eb4744847f9.png) ---

really cool! I like the hue shifting, especially with the pink ramp. its good to experiment with different ramps (combinations of colours going from dark to light) as you don’t necessarily need to use a similar hue in the entire ramp. Oftentimes you can use more extreme hue shifts (like using purple to shade green or red to shade yellow) Both are the same colours, I just used fewer colours on the left. A good way to cut down a palette is to try out lot of unusual colour combinations. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/6/0622e82cdac1ce38a3a5fc39217dc92c1260a881.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/1/11f58c220fce670c9775e1787117d706239befc8.png) Depending on the style, more colours are nice though, here I combined both the old and the new ramps to make some coloured reflections in the spheres. I’m using a lot of anti aliasing to shade which is where you place a new colour on the border of 2 other colours. The new colour is similar to both and helps to smooth the transition. This is very clear on the highlight of the yellow ball where i used lightyellow to bridge white and yellow. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/2/d292a6dfa70f6c57c3a97753ad1171ae25a29573.png) Oh and the reason why this is cool is that by making ramps you can completely change the feel of the palette. Making a palette is one thing, but being able to create ramps is also important to guide whoever uses it ---

Thanks for the compliment! I really tried to make it stand out more while still having the 15 color (or 16 color if you count the json.pxt trick) rule ---

I would recommend looking at my profile. It has a Pixilart account where I have the palettes so you can copy the hex codes and paste them into the editor.
