I finally figured out how to trick Photoshop into performing a technique I was wanting back when I made CRT palettes. It fixes the imbalance between red and the other colours and gives it a proper contrast. This is going to be used as support for a translucency shader but looks pretty cool for regular gameplay anyways (as it should).
When you compare to DooM's colourmap, Red Abyss looks like it's red ramps(?) are a higher colour depth. They aren't

1.1 Update: It's super transparent now and prevents dark browns from turning olive.

I haven't noticed an issue with the dark end of other colour ranges yet. With red, the darkest value was at 26% brightness! It's now at 12% and any higher or lower would start to look inappropriate with the surrounding artwork. But if something is pointed out I'll certainly investigate it.
Made a simple adjustment to ensure colours won't change their hue (to olive mostly) and Included an altered PSX palette.
I'm actually curious about the PSX palette's back-story as it seems like an attempt to tame it's highlights for brighter screens (LCDs?). If so, who made the adjustment? If it was ID Software then should it be considered an official CRT emulation palette? Or maybe it was just a system requirement/limitation of the Playstation...

I'm pretty sure it was a limitation because if you take a look at the old psx games you're gonna notice that most of them were dark and had a weird contrast.even though normally it wasn't noticeable since people mostly focused on the gameplay
Ahh, if I'd ever played one I guess I would have noticed a trend. That explains why the monster projectiles became so dark in the pixels where they should have been bright!
Added a link to download corrected assets that were never modified to work with the PSX release's palette change. Most noticeable were the Imp's fireballs becoming dark centered but many others were left unchanged as well.
