Palettes
I've got all of these sitting around, so I guess I might as well go ahead and share them. :) I like to make one long strip of colors when I can, so I can start wherever I like, and then if I need a lighter or darker color it's right there. :) The really long strips are particularly good if you're using MSPaint.
New! I have converted all of the palettes in this section to GIMP 2 palettes. To use them with the GIMP, navigate to your GIMP folder under Program Files and add the palette files to share/gimp/2.0/palettes. (You can configure the program to look for palettes in whatever folders you like under File > Preferences > Folders > Palettes.) If you don't know how to use palettes in the GIMP, see the help files, which explain palettes quite well.
The ZIP file includes all 10 palettes (expanded, with shades not shown on the GIF versions) plus one additional set.
