I'm not usually in the mood for games with bright color palettes when I'm depressed or about to go to bed.

Can you recommend some good gakes with dark, warm ones like pic related or Vagrant Story?

Castlevania II catches hell for its color palette but I actually like the somber mood it gives off

Castlevania 2 has my favorite palette of all NES Games. People can talk shit all they want, eye of the beholder bruh, eye of the beholder.

Faxanadu has a dark, amazingly varied and unique colour palette. Definitly one of my favourites.

Samurai Ghost
aka the Genji and Heike Clans
(Orig. Genpei Touma Den) for PC Engine

also, Dungeon Explorer looks pretty dark.
alternatively, Daggerfall since every dungeon is grim as a motherfucker.

Any Fromsoft game too (King's Field, Shadow Tower and Echo Night)

Nah, Valis is harder than Hagane.

You just need to get in the mood of speedy robot ninjas, once you understand how to move and hit shit with specials Hagane becomes a cakewalk.
Second Course is pretty hard though, mainly because enemies have double the health so they don't die with one special.

come to think of it, it's hard to find older 2D games that aren't colorful as fuck.

Maybe stuff like the Sunsoft Batman game for NES.

Metal Gear Solid's color palette is consistently grey/dark green-ish. Silent Hill is also dark. Generally the PS1 has a lot of games with dark color palettes.

colorfulness used to be a selling point back them

I always have to cut myself off. If I try gaming when I need to sleep I just wind up gaming till like 6am regardless of the color palette.
