# DHC v9.1 candidate palette sources and credits

Thanks to [PalMod and its contributors](https://zachd.com/palmod/), the [PalMod palette gallery](https://zachd.com/palmod/gallery/?all), and the palette community in the linked Discord channel. The gallery credits Hikari for the console-exclusive collection and names individual contributors where known. Listed source labels are preserved below; a Discord poster is not independently established as the palette creator. Unknown creators remain unknown.

This is the source list for diagnostic candidate05, archive SHA-256 `444d46412c02bb71ebbb5241c2dff5d3b36e9642d25bc9b1381e72406db87cd7`. The 75 selected indexed sources are bound by SHA-256 in `build/v91/chord-palettes-05-diagnostic/indexed-sources.json` (manifest SHA-256 `a4b444d3bd26ef8639ee921da1e1d3570fda62e348b7d26ab83e694bdb7c4699`). These credits do not assert full release acceptance.

REMIX adds LP+LK, MP+MK and HP+HK for colors6,7,8. All six existing body choices retain their exact bytes. Other button combinations keep the existing fallback. ARCADE retains its native palette table and button behavior. Native opposing-team duplicate selection is preserved with the new nine-choice wrap; a duplicate can advance the chosen color.

Only complete indexed color rows were mapped. Source transparency, palette width, used indices and source hash were checked. CPS2 RGB values are quantized to four bits per channel; native brightness and unused pens are retained. Sources supplying one body row retain the known LP anchor for the two unspecified rows. Presentation colors use the existing transfer policy, so source artwork and runtime body colors are checked separately.

The third Ken-form choice uses Ryu Shadow blue and the third Akuma-form choice uses Ryu Green by Saga as explicit proxies. They are not claimed as original console Ken/Akuma palettes. A PSX archive includes an Origins.txt description that conflicts with the gallery package label; this provenance discrepancy is retained in the reference audit.

Separate Discord super/effect sheets are review leads. They were not bulk-imported into this body-color candidate: attack ownership, complete indexed rows and actual native readers must be mapped independently. No Heroes Reborn program bytes were imported.
