Game Boy Palette Compendium

Compiled by Cubby Crazes

That thing uses two bits per pixel to color its screen, resulting in a total of 4 colors you can use for Game Boy graphics, typically going from lightest to darkest.

Here's a collection of 4-color palettes you can use for Game Boy art or emulation.

(Palettes without easily identifiable names will be given a name by me)
