If you save the image to your desktop, (not copy,) the palette should be available. If you have any problems, I'll post the swatch.

I have problems.... I Can't find the palette
(Probably because I'm an idiot when it comes to computers.... but still)

EDIT: Thanks for the help ALPHA2T! And I've been using MSpaint all these years, silly me

Try opening the .gif with graphics gale It works for me that way.

edit:
Here, I've exported the pallette from graphics gale

Bulbapuck · Sat 14/02/2009 16:47:36

Here's my early entry:

~~Oh man, thought the background was transparent (how do you do that?)~~

I might improve the image later but since I highly doubt it I decided to just post it

Edit: Once again, thanks ALPHA2T! I owe you at least one!

ALPHATT · Sat 14/02/2009 17:55:17

Select a color and apply transparecy to it =)

It's depends on the program how to do that.

If you could name wich image editor you used I'll be able to help you out more.

edit:If your using graphics gale setting the frames and the layers background color transparent is your best bet, well at least it works for me (if not try setting the bg color in properties and check transparent bg color)

The palette is completely useless to anyone not using ~~Graphics Gale.~~ a program that supports PAL files. Do you think you could possibly present the palette in a different format?

Edit: Sorry. Yes.

When I load the image into NeoPaint, the palette shows up. But why put such restrictions on a fun coloring ball? Why does it have to have a transparent background and also the use of limited colors?

Just wondering.

edit: I will have to reupload my entry tonight

It makes it a bit more challenging. Just wanted to see what you all could come up with using only those colors and the other restrictions. I hope its still fun?

Very nice entries so far.... (see! it can be done.)

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Someone had a little fun dressing up this pirate. Sadly he doesn't seem to approve.
I had fun though

After midnight Central Standard Time, I'm closing this competition. Any last entries need to be submitted in less than 4 hours!

rharpe · Sat 28/02/2009 06:15:22

And the big win goes to...

BLUE!

Wow, that is disturbing! Very nice use of the color palette and keeping within the restraints of the outline.

As for the others... Your designs were too cute, not really monstrosities.

Blue, the stage is yours for the next coloring ball.

A big thanks to all of you that participated!

Thank you rharpe! I'll see if I can come up with something for the next Coloring Ball
