1, 2, 4, 5, 6 all look fine resized in the post and full size
3 looks fine full size but has slight visual artifacts resized in the post (check/square pattern)
I can barely see it on my monitor. So on worse monitors it may not even be visible. #272a31 vs #262b31
animated webp may also be an option
Thank you so much for your patience in teaching me something new! Much, much appreciated!
With the help of your observations, I can confidently say that the different dither methods don't play much of a role after filtering with a better palette has already been done. So palette-filtering -if we can refer to it as such- is the actual MVP in resolving this issue.
Hehe :P , I'll take note of this and perhaps resort to it the next time. The whole palette-filtering stuff seemed like some occult incantations that somehow worked. But I would much rather use a different (sane) format instead.
Again, I would like to stress that I've very much enjoyed this interaction! While it's been (mostly) totally unrelated to the original post, this has actually been one of the most informative interactions found within its comments. Therefore, thank you!
