Curated pixel palettes and tools. No site-wide commercial grant — most palette pages list author/tags/downloads only. Filter the Lospec cc0 tag or use a pack primary like Paleto Vol.01 (The Classics).

Notes

lospec.com/terms still 404; the footer links Terms and Conditions instead. Read on 2026-09-26: a generic website/store ToS with no licence for palettes, so there is still no site-wide grant. Open question: each palette's own terms (most pages show none), which keeps commercial and attribution_required at unknown
privacy-policy / about have no palette license grant
Hardware palettes are often usable as color lists; artist palettes need author terms
Prefer Paleto Vol.01 (The Classics) when you need a verified commercial-ok starter set
Review: settle each palette's own terms, since the site has no licence grant and most palette pages show none.

Evidence

Live Sweetie 16 / DawnBringer 16 pages (2026-07-20): no license field → catalog-level commercial: unknown
Live palette-list/tag/cc0 (2026-07-20): some uploads self-tag CC0 (e.g. Paleto) — not a site-wide grant → keep needs-review
Live Terms and Conditions (2026-09-26): covers use of the site and store ("This website is operated by Lospec"); sections on user submissions and prohibited uses, no licence granted for palette content
Live Sweetie 16 (2026-09-26): "Palette created by GrafxKid", tags and download count only; no licence field
Live Terms and Conditions (2026-10-04): unchanged; the only content clauses are about comments and prohibited uses ("You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright"), and no licence is granted for palettes
Live Sweetie 16 (2026-10-04): "Palette created by GrafxKid", "Number of colors: 16", tags "artist, grafxkid, skeddlespicks"; still no licence field. Open question unchanged: palettes carry no per-item licence, so commercial and attribution_required stay unknown
