I would like to discuss color paletts that you find appealing in games. I hope this thread has not been misposted.
I find that I like hand picked colors in games not just the basic system colors. By system colors i mean colors like 255,128,128 what I'm getting at is I find colors with lower saturation and an original hue very eye pleasing.
This is just my style but I prefer to keep saturation in my colores below 128 and I try to reuse colors and dither on my sprites/backgrounds. I am a pixel artist so I have some expearance in making decent sprites.
Finally I really dislike any blank black background in a game I think black as a background conveys a feeling of emptyness and when your sprites use a linear light pallette, with white as the highlight color it just makes it worse.
I'm not saying that I know everything I'm simply submitting my opinion in hopes of getting yours.
I'll gladly post my sprites if anyone is interested.
thanks for your time.
