Color palettes

Official, default palette (new)

New! January 2018 update: Grays are less brownish, purple is darker.

Why is it important to use the default palette?

• We spent lot of time fine tuning this palette to get the perfect blend of colors.
• You can't really go wrong with these colors.
• This will give the Gamebuino games a consistent look.
• They are not garish nor not dull and all different.
• This is a pretty versatile palette, you should be able to do any kind of games with it.
• They are the default colors used in indexed mode.
