Pixel Art Palette Builder
A downloadable tool for Windows
This is a tool I made for myself to help build a new pixel art palette more quickly. I'm sharing it just in case it helps anyone else build their own palette. The palette technique itself is not mine, I found it reading a blog post from Slynyrd here.
I put as many options in as I could think. I know this turns the interface into something that can be a bit overwhelming, but the palette updates immediately so I would suggest starting by just pressing buttons to see what it does.
You can also click a color to make more precise adjustments. The adjustments can be done across a ramp, shade, or individual color.
The button that changes from HSV to Ciela*b* switches the color space that is used to generate the other colors. This isn't true Ciela*b*, its more like Ciela*b* being beaten into a cylinder so it can function kind of like HSV.
Let me know if there are any problems or features anyone wants added.

x64, not work
Could you provide more details? I'd like to help, but all I can tell from your comment is that it didn't work.
The archive with the program you have is called papb-win-32.zip, but after unpacking it and trying to launch the application, I receive a message about an incompatible operating system (I have Windows 7 x32), the archive most likely contains an application for Windows x64
You are correct, it looks like I chose the wrong build option. I had already meant to fix a few bugs in this eventually. I'll upload an actual 32 bit version in a few days when I have a new version.
Thanx, good luck
Just pushed an update. I can't test for sure that it will work 32bit, but it should. I ran on Windows7 compatibility mode and it worked fine
