AshtralFiend Posted June 6 (edited) Color palettes often play a significant role in setting the mood and atmosphere of a map and making both scenery and enemies unique in their own way. And while it's true that the classic DOOM color palette evokes a nostalgic and cozy feeling, it may feel a bit dull at times. Here are some of the custom palettes I've used in my projects thus far. A vibrant color palette that emphasizes saturated yellows, reds, pinks, and purples. Reminiscent of a nostalgic, hot summer sunset.

From bright reds to purples, and yellows into acid greens, this palette will add a burst of color to your maps.

Looking to create a cave or a forest? Maybe try earthbound.

Like an old VHS recording that has seen better days.

Its hues illuminate the landscape like the hot and hazy desert sun.
