Space to create colors. Turbo mode is recommended as it generates the palette about 15x faster. My favorite is 16x16, similar to many 90s color palettes. Note: this method is not very good for efficient color palettes as it has whole columns of black and white, but it works well enough for this project.
Left to Middle is Pen brightness. Middle to Right is Pen transparency. Top to bottom is Pen Color. I made the "blocks" of color through: Dividing the variables with brightness/transparency/color, rounding it, then multiplying it back. For example, 26 could round to 50, 25, or 20. It all depends on HOW you round it, and I based this whole project on that system.
