Old School Color Cycling with HTML5 

Anyone remember Color cycling from the 90s? This was a technology often used in 8-bit video games of the era.

There was one graphic artist who took the technique to a whole new level, and produced absolutely breathtaking color cycling scenes. Mark J. Ferrari, who also illustrated all the original backgrounds for LucasArts The Secret of Monkey Island and Loom, invented his own unique ways of using color cycling for envrironmental effects that you really have to see to believe.

These include rain, snow, ocean waves, moving fog, clouds, smoke, waterfalls, streams, lakes, and more with one 256 color palette.
