Palette #1 - Tropical Throwback
Remember a time long, long ago when I hosted my first palette contest? Me neither. This palette takes my favorite colors off of the Tropical palette — effectively condensing it into a much smaller one
To be completely honest, and I don't know if you could tell, but I couldn't figure out a name for this one! My little screaming sloth friend makes an appearance . . . as a wizard?

FAQs
How do palette contests work?
In a palette contest, members are given a set amount of colors that they can use to make their entry Depending on the host and the rules, colors can be swapped, added, or changed. For this contest, palettes can only be used as they are given — so don't try anything in the list I just gave you, because those will cause a disqualification!
Great examples of these are the SSPBL tournaments!
