The PCX file header contains an identifier byte (value 10), a version number, image dimensions, 16 palette colors, number color planes, bit depth of each plane and a value for compression method.

Perhaps the first device that supported palette colors was a random-access frame buffer, described in 1975 by Kajiya, Sutherland and Cheadle.

Players can choose to pick a different palette color for their chosen character, referred to in the game as "alignment color", two of which apply accessories chosen by the player.

NFLib also contains functions for manipulating backgrounds: display/hide backgrounds, unload from RAM, change the map tiles by code, change the palette colors, extended palettes, and more.

If much more than the desired number of palette colors are entered into the octree, its size can be continually reduced by seeking out a bottom-level node and averaging its bit data up into a leaf node, pruning part of the tree.

By contrast, the main characters of Breath of Fire II occasionally swap their palette colors to indicate an increase in their respective statistics.

The GIF file format has better application and browser support than APNG, but it is limited to 256 colors per frame and supports only index transparency, by mapping one of the palette colors to transparent.

And more interestingly the Hold And Modify (or HAM) mode which while only making use of 16 palette colors, allowed the display of 4096 colors with some restrictions.

Additionally an upgraded HAM8 mode is made available, using 64 palette colors, and offering a maximum of 262,144 displayable colors.

With round-the-clock exposure to the best animation in the world, you doubt even if pre-tweens will be enthralled by the caricatured animal life and the flat palette colours".
