This image was used to demonstrate the 3D transformation tool, that was added to Deluxe Paint III.
This daytime scenario is using the Deluxe Paint default palette.
It is transformed into a nighttime scenario by simply changing the color palette. Not a single pixel was changed.
This is a demonstration to show how different color palettes can completely change the look of an image.
Greg Johnson drew some inspiration from a concept drawing from the movie Aliens depicting the bridge of the Nostromo.
Greg's image has some ties to the game Starflight. The two aliens that are visible here are also present in the game and the Starflight logo can be seen on the bottom left of the computer console.
The image itself doesn't appear in the game but Greg did some graphics for Starflight which explains the similarities.
