Atari 2600 NTSC TIA Stella Color Palette Collection
A downloadable tool
While working on my games for the Atari 2600 I put together a little collection of palette files using the 2600's available colors. Thought I'd upload them here in case there were also helpful to others.
This Atari 2600 NTSC TIA Stella Color Palette collection includes palettes for MagicaVoxel, Photoshop, Pixquare, Illustrator, InDesign, Affinity Designer & Photo, Procreate, and Figma, as well as a PNG, TXT, XLSX, NUMBERS, and BAS with the decimal, hexadecimal, and binary values for use in bAtari BASIC.
The video embedded on this page demonstrates how to load the palette into Pixquare, a pixelart app I enjoy using to create my game sprites.

I don't know if this would be useful but I found a set of colors that lets the player choose NTSC or PAL60. Feel free to include them in your work here. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/348902-ntsc-pal60-in-same-rom-menu-select/
Thx! I'll check a look-- I don't have any PAL experience at the moment.
