About the palette
The NES hardware had a fixed master palette and could show a limited number of colors on screen at once. Artists worked within those constraints, which gave NES games their bold, saturated, unmistakable style.
This curated set captures the most iconic NES tones — the bright blues, reds, and greens you remember from the era — in a size that converts cleanly.
When to use it
Use the NES palette when you want colorful 8-bit character rather than the monochrome Game Boy look. It suits sprites, characters, and anything meant to feel like a classic console game.
