This must've been brought up countless times before, but doing a search on this forum brings up a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with what I'm looking for, so forgive me if the answer's buried somewhere and I just missed it.
In designing some graphics for one of the numerous projects I've started and likely won't finish, I've run into the fact that the palette that I think looks correct tends to produce results that are straight-up *ugly* on palettes that other people use and agree on. So I'd really like a palette that is as accurate as can be, and that most everyone can agree on. Not just "this palette is accurate", but "this palette is accurate, and I'm using it right now".
I use a palette that has saturated colors, probably moreso saturated than others would prefer, but given my recent experiences with bringing my NES to my dorm with me, I really would have to agree that the saturated colors are what looks the most "accurate" to me.
However, numerous other palettes I've come across that others recommend to me are far too dark, too unsaturated, have strange imbalances with the saturation of certain channels, some hues are off, etc, etc. I understand that NTSC TVs will produce differing images from TV to TV, but I never thought the difference would be *that* big, such that the colors would look just straight-up incorrect to me.
TLDR:
Please help me find an NES palette that is as accurate as can be and that everyone can agree on.
Thanks a bunch
