GameBoy Color Palette Guide

A simple guide listing all 12 button combinations that apply different color palettes to classic GameBoy games, when playing on a GameBoy Color or a Modretro Chromatic. 

Each download comes with digital version of this zine on .pdf and .epub, printable files for A4 and Letter paper, .png images for every palette shown in this zine, and a copy of Enemy Waters (.gb) to test the palettes.

The Modretro Chromatic also has 2 additional palettes to replicate the original GameBoy's palettes. Hold A+B and Left to use the "Classic DMG" palette. Hold A+B and Right to use the "Modern" DMG palette.

This zine was made for the Make Literally Anything Jam '26. Click the link to see a collection of all our Jam Submissions.

This zine was made with alienmelon's Electric Zine Maker and published on itch.io using Jeremy Oduber's HTML 5 Reader for EZM. We found out about these programs because of MindApe's CRONENBERG zine. The pages themselves were designed in Procreate on an Apple iPad (10th generation).
