As I was on the Doomworld forums, I found a palette that seems to add more contrast, and overall give Doom a darker and grittier feel. However, it does make the game darker and more like Doom 3; although this would be perfect for a survival horror mod, or if you wanted to make a mod in which the overall atmosphere was very gloomy. I liked this very much and decided to share this. This isn't mine (credit goes to Sigvatr), but since this is a palette, feel free to download here:
"Contrast" palette
Feel free to post any thoughts and of course, use this in your own mod if you wish.
Note: I decided to post this here because I felt this would be more widely used.

Just a direct link? You've stripped the mod completely away from its context. You should really link the other post or at least give credit to Sigvatr for creating it.

Hmm... Really nice. Might come in handy sometime.
Re: [Palette] "Contrast" palette for a "darker" Doom
Big question: Does Sigvatr allow us to embed his palette and colormap into our wads? I'm going to scan that thread for a possible answer.

I'm pretty sure this is the official release: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=16492
I like some things about this palette (the Hexenish blues in particular) but other stuff not so much (like how messed up the skin-toned brown range looks.)

Re: [Palette] "Contrast" palette for a "darker" Doom
I've changed my mind, it's too colourless. I'm looking for strong blues (UAC carpet) and strong reds (blood, BLOOD!) rather than black-metal art style. Maybe PalPlus will get its use later when I try a black-metal themed wad, why not.
