Do you guys use a specific color palette to play classic Game Boy games on emulators?

I ask because I see a lot of gameplays of people using different palettes. I use a modified Super Game Boy palette, as long as an emulator has the option to put a custom palette (like Pizza Boy).

Examples of my modified SGB palette below:

I was playing Castlevania: The Adventure through that recent collection, and I actually liked the standard Gameboy palette – the green-and-black one, where you can actually see each individual pixel – the best. It made me feel like I was playing on one of those zany old Hong Kong bootleg consoles, like a Game King or a Mega Duck.

God, what a ridiculous device this thing was. It's like if a caveman made a video game console.
 
I like my Game Boy games like I like my manga : in black & white, and in shades of gray.
Oh yes!, that good old black and white, it's my second choice if the emulator doesn't have custom palette settings

Before I knew the world of Game Boy color palettes, I always had the greenish one, until I knew that some emulators simulated the greenish palette in a different way, so I stopped using it and started to modify the existing ones to my liking and I still don't know if there is one that perfectly simulates the greenish palette today, if there was one, I would keep that one for the rest of my life.
I'm a person who is a bit picky about precise things, you can't really tell, can you? :)

The Game Boy is one of my favorite consoles because of how simple and straightforward it is in general, in basically everything!

If only I had one and could experience how green it looks instead of playing on emulators :')

I remember always being puzzled by these as a wee lad with my GBC, never knew what caused them then.
I think my favorite is the one with some pastel hues like purple and such.
