Palettes are unlockable sets of colors for the game that can be chosen from the options menu.
Downwell has four colors:
- The background color (Black by default)
- The primary color, which is used for the player, terrain, and enemies that can be jumped on. (White by default)
- The secondary color, for the player's bullets in gemhigh mode, gems and enemies that can't be jumped on. (Red by default)
- The tertiary color, which only appears in special places using special sprites. (Blue by default)
