Generally, brighter tones will go a bit towards red/yellow (warmer tones), and darker tones will go towards blue/purple (cooler tones). This is what makes palettes good - the hue shift between shades of the same color. Now change the saturation and value sliders, according to what you need, but don’t forget to change the hue a little bit aswell. I’d highly recommend using the HSV sliders (press F4 and switch to HSV tab). For example, if you want to go with 5 shades per color, make 2 brighter and 2 darker tones of your base color. Make brighter and darker shades of each color, up to the number of shades per color you decided earlier.There are similar simple color picker programs that can make your life easier for every platform out there. I use a little program called Pixie ( Pixie / Nattyware) to pick screen colors from there and elsewhere, which automatically copies its hex code, ready to be pasted into Aseprite’s color slider window (Press F4 to show/hide it). If you need, base your palette on one of the ones at Lospec. Pick a middle shade for each of them, and don’t make it too saturated, which a lot of beginners do. Choose your base colors - that is, red, green, blue, yellow, orange, browns, whites and blacks, and whatever other colors you need.There are sprites that have used as little as 2, or even 1 color, sometimes to great effect, but that’s a hard thing to do. You can go higher or lower than that, but it gets harder if you do. Most people recommend going for 4 to 5 colors (I mostly do 5 myself, but I also use them for borders). That is lighter and darker shades of a base color. Choose how many shades per color you want. I don’t know Mislav or his tutorials, so this might differ from his methods. If you still want to give this a shot, I’ll try to explain my process of making a palette. This is why I’d recommend using other people’s palettes at first - there are tons of them at Lospec ( Palette List), and seeing what makes them good, thus learning from them. When you’re starting out with pixel art, making your own palettes can be kinda hard and even overwhelming.
