I'm getting obsessed with Plan 9 and I'd love to do something using this palette, but I don't have any good ideas.

That strikes me as a very rococo color palette, so maybe go there for motifs?

I don't have a specific idea to suggest making a piece with that palette, but if you like Plan 9 you might enjoy taking a look through !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org -- maybe some of pmjv's art will inspire you?

Lots of bright colors - maybe some snowy winter landscape? Or a white desert of some sort idk. That's just my Caves of Qud brainrot talking

Some friends did this on a Minecraft server, maybe I could recreate it. Great idea!

I don't know why I didn't think about it, pmjv's art is great.
