Gameboy Original Color Palette!!!

I've been messing around with the color palette and had a great idea... Why not recreate the look of the Gameboy with it's greenish monochrome?!


I changed all of the colors from the default palette to a gradient of green. I know the original only had four colors, but 16 shades is a lot more useful. Here's the concatenated hex values:

If you just copy all that, then head to the sprite editor, hit the sliders button to the right of the palette, and push the paste button now on the left side...


You end up with a nice little mock up of the Gameboy palette!! Ah sweet nostalgia...


how can you reset the palette?

Save your progress,

load a new cart

Copy the palette 

(in the sprite editor hit the 'sliders' button on the right of the palette. A clipboard appears on the left side. Hit that to copy the current palette as a hexadecimal string in the clipboard)

Load your cart again.

Paste it into your cart

(Again push the sliders button, but this time hit the paste button)

Does that work for you?
