Is there a preferred NES palette?

[Barack Obama]

Not an NES ripper, but maybe this helps:

it means that a lot of palette files were made and what palette is personal preference. e.g. someone might like FirebrandX's palettes or someone might like the Sony CVX palette. There are a lot more but those are the two that get mentioned a lot.

Then this:

FCEUX has the option to use diiferent pallettes and disable the backgrounds or objects so I've always used that.
