Hi, sometimes 1bit color palettes feel a little sad for me. Here's one that I find bright but not too much and feels more joyful than others: 1f2234 and fffaf0. I also recommend pixelorama over other software: https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama.

Yup, Pixelorama is the best! Beats Aesprite too in my opinion.
