Maybe make a quick palette sprite with the colours so we can see the palette without going to assets in the game?

any of these

fun fact, WoodSpark was used in my bubble tea game, gun metal russia in the Point Red collab, NA16 in Floor 13, szy15 for arcane dungeons remake, cretaceous in One More Day, mystic 16 in the Pan Game collab, lost century for prehistoric game jam game and ofc Card Delver uses Nostalgia 15!

my current favourite palette has to be sunlit days (it is a bit too big for makecode tho 🙁 )

I’d never say that. I adjust the colors until I think it looks good. (I have not shown either of my 2 projects that use this method)

I love that album! It’s one of my favorites to put on while programming.

Oh I definitely still do. Even with a website full of awesome palettes, there’s plenty of fiddling to be done.

When I’m doing pixel art on my own from scratch, I like to pick 4 or so primary colors and then so a light or dark shade of each, usually taking into account things like color temperature and so on. I’ll use my last few spots for any in-betweens or striking detail colors that would help me illustrate, and voila.

I’m also working on a program that automagically picks a palette based on the image you pass it! My goal is to make a 3d renderer that uses Hex colors for objects and textures but rasterizes them with a constantly adapting Makecode palette on the fly. I need to make more progress on my 3d renderer before I buckle down and work on it, but the thread can be found [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-quest-for-more-colors/35551)
