It’s a great idea to blend the old with the new. Start by picking a core set of colors that echo classic pixel palettes—think muted earth tones, pastel vibes, or neon accents—then add a modern twist with richer saturation or subtle gradients that still work in a limited palette. Work with the art and narrative teams to agree on a few “signature” colors that tie scenes together, and use them consistently across levels so players feel a sense of unity. Also keep accessibility in mind: make sure the contrasts are clear for everyone. Once you have that base, you can tweak shades as the story shifts—softening a color for a tender moment, brightening it for a high‑energy cutscene—so the pixel art feels both nostalgic and fresh.
