Lezing's DN3D Resource»Extra stuff»Colors of IDX8_L
My TC in development uses a 256-color palette called IDX8_L that consists of 23 hue-saturation doublets listed below. I publish this page in order to provide detailed information about my color choices, as well as to let potential modders know the designations of each hue. The hues are listed in the look-up conversion order (not palette order) to match some of the original Duke pals as close as possible. All RGB values are normalized to 255; the correlated color temperatures are approximate. For all colors to be displayed properly, your monitor's color temperature should be 7500 K.

The IDX8_L palette with 23 color sequences shown, as well as game palette numbers they correspond to. Five special colors (superblack, transparent and three near-white colors) do not belong to any sequence. The brightest shade of green was moved off to make room for the transparent color.
