Here's an idea for a thesis and/or art project if any data-inclined art student is reading this...
Collect the palettes from all games across a set of 16-bit era platforms (using emulation or longplay videos), weight them according to metrics that affect perception (e.g. the game's popularity, score, first vs. deeper levels), account for the development team's country, the region of first release, etc.
What trends emerge, in what context?
