I posted this on your Unity thread, and here again, so both forums can benefit 
It's great you can achieve what you need with GIMP, another win for free software If you're keen on doing more, I highly recommend Aseprite (yes that's how it's spelt) for working with pixel art, you have a lot of old fashioned control over the palette, but in a modern (yet retro!) graphical interface! You do have to pay for it but it's totally worth it if you're making pixel art games. And it's for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and you can even buy it through Steam. https://www.aseprite.org/
