"I'll make an edit to show you the right way to do it."

........FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF >8E *bangs head on desk* that would be your PREFERRED way, not the right way. sheesh.

the reason everyones trying to show you a 'right' way to do it would be because

but here, let me show you the style that i'm emulating.

you said you're trying to copy a style... right? the thing you're doing right now doesn't. and even then, i still think a large issue (pallete count aside) is that the shading is very hard to see at a 1x soom. it might just be monitor making it look that way, it might be yours making it look fine i'm not sure.

i'd assume it's because:

and to be honest he's like that now b/c i was told to make the colors contrast more. i'm not too familiar with working with hues so i just darkened the grays...

you were linked a resource that explains hueshifting in detail twice (three times now!) in this thread you standby not knowing..? i even gave a basic example: the hue shifts slightly as the palette gets darker to create contrast between the shades instead of just being marginally darker

why can't i enjoy the way i want to do my sprites? who's to say that spriting will not evolve since the use of using the least colors possible is not an issue, since space and memory conservation isn't really needed as much anymore?

but here, let me show you the style that i'm emulating.

you also answered yourself here, so uh
