Mew palette

This palette is also used for the large sprites of all Pokémon Trainers (including the player Red), as well as Professor Oak. It is also used for all the Pokémon icons on the party, nickname, and trade screens. In the Virtual Console releases of Pokémon Yellow, Jynx's skin was changed to be purple, probably related to controversies surrounding its skin being black.

In the new game intro, this palette is also used for Nidorino^RGB and Pikachu^Y.

Intro and usual colour palette comparison of Pikachu and Nidorino in Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Red

Main article: New game → Color palette (Generation I)

In the new game intro cutscene from the Generation I games, Nidorino^RGB and Pikachu^Y use the Mew palette instead of their usual color palettes, resulting in slightly different colors than in main gameplay.
