Gamut of colors sourced from spooky 2000s cartoons. Use this color set if you want saturated colors with harsh contrasts. (Compare "Milennial Magic".)

Seventies Lo Res

Gamut of 6 colors sourced from 1970s computers, created by a clever manipulation of NTSC television signal. For best results, use a pixel brush, double wide.

Silver-Age Comics

Gamut of colors from the 1960s to 1990s. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow in 20%, 50%, 70%, and 100% increments, with blacK in 0%, 10%, and 20%, a larger gamut than the earlier "four-color" comics. Use this color set for a vintage comic look.

US Syndicated Cartoon

Video Display Processor
