Game Boy DMG Palette
The classic 4-shade green monochrome ramp from the original Game Boy. Four colors force silhouette-driven design — a great constraint exercise.
Where to use this palette
- Shading is pure value steps — no hue shifting available; contrast must do the work.
- Spend your darkest color on outlines and eye pixels only.
- Perfect for jam games and 'what can I remove?' design drills.
Use this palette
Copy the hex values above into the editor's Palette tab, or rebuild the ramp from one base color in the Palette Generator.
