PureBasic - Palette

Overview

Palettes can be used only on screens with 256 colors (or less) and allow to 'map' the colors displayed. It's possible to assign each color (indexed from 0 to 255) to a specified RGB color, choosen from a 24 bit palette (16 Millions colors). The advantage is huge, as all the pixels from a color can be changed to another color only by changing its associated color. It allows to do very fast palette cycling, fade-in, fade-out and other well know effects.

A color table with common colors and their accompanying RGB values you will find here.
