Either way, this is going to come in handy when/if Chinese Bootleg Demakes comes up.
Wouldn't you use some sort of knockoff of the NES palette for that then?

The YES Palette.
Well, you could make all the colours a little paler. That could give a more bootleg look to it.

you wanna know why? i think its because on each individual NES tile it was only aloud to have 3 colors.  i used colors from all over the pallette all over the image.

if i were to be true to the NES hardware i would have used only 3 colors per 16pixel square at a time ;-;

I believe that's four colors, actually, but sprites only had 3 colors usually because one of the color slots was used for the transparency. And while sprites in the NES were either 8x8 or 8x16 (maybe also 16x8), I'm not sure about tiles.

I think that NES tiles are 8*8, 4 colors per tile but games usually clumped them together into 16*16 blocks.

That was because of a hardware limitation, you could only set the palette for groups of 2x2 tiles on a standard NES, and there was a limitation of how many palettes there was to choose from, too (I think it was 4).  Some games had a chip in the cart that made it possible to set palette for each tile though (and you could do screen splits and such to get more palettes per screen, etc).

From what I read it seems that although tiles are 4 colours chosen from several palettes, you could actually only select three colours, with the fourth colour being like a background colour and constant between all the palettes.
I'm not sure how accurate this information is though...
