Color Palette Builder helps you build your next limited color palette. It is especially helpful for palettes with 16, 32 or 64 colors, for example for pixel art, retro games or any design with a fixed set of colors.

How it works

  • Generate a large pool of colors from a few settings: the number of hues, the saturation, the number of lightness levels, and the minimum and maximum lightness
  • Add a set of grays
  • Optionally apply a tint, including an alpha value
  • Pick the colors you want from the pool

Build your palette

  • Set the size of the palette, for example 16, 32 or 64 colors
  • Select the colors by hand, or let the app select distinct colors for you
  • See how many colors you have selected compared to your limit
  • Clear the selection and start again
