### Color Palettes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using a consistent color palette is an easy way to make your art look a lot
|
||||||
|
better. It's a good idea to use one with a limited number of colors, perhaps 32
|
||||||
|
at most. Premade palettes can be found at
|
||||||
|
[lospec.com](https://lospec.com/palette-list).

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
animation tools.
|

[LibreSprite](https://libresprite.github.io/) is an open-source fork of Aseprite

from before it went proprietary.
