Palettes

Pixly can have a unlimited amount of palettes loaded by you. You can load your own .act, .aco, .ase, .jasc, .pal and .png files, and these palettes may have a maximum of 4096 colors each.

Apart from the palettes you load, some palettes are bundled into pixly for your convenience, between these are the NES, Master System, GameBoy and C-64. These called System Palettes can't be deleted.

The recents palette​

One of these system palettes is very important, it's called Recents. It will be updated constantly as you use the color selector. So whenever you want to find a color you picked in the past, it should be there.

note

If you pick a color twice in the selector, it will only be added once to the recents palette.

tip

If you want more control over a palette than the recents give you, try creating a custom palette.

Palette viewer​

Whenever you expand the Colors and Brush, you'll get to see the palette viewer by the left of your screen.
