Palettes generally contain a number of colors that's a multiple of 256. This is because the palette is split up into 256-color 'pages' internally. So the first color is page 0/color 0. Color 256 is page 1/color 0. Color 628 is page 2/color 116. You'll see why in the [[FF7/Field/Background|background]] section. | Palettes generally contain a number of colors that's a multiple of 256.

Section 4: Palette (Terence Fergusson & myst6re)
The following is an overview of the palette data.
Section 4 Format
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 4 bytes | Length (Repeat of previous length header) |
| 0x04 | 2 bytes | PalX |
| 0x06 | 2 bytes | PalY |
| 0x08 | 2 bytes | Number of colors in palette |
| 0x0A | 2 bytes | Number of palettes |
| 0x0C | (Number of palettes) * (Number of colors in palette) * 2 | Palette data |
After the first length indicator comes another integer, also indicating length. Useless, but it's there.
Then two bytes; palX, useful for the PS version only (always 0).
Then two bytes again; palY, useful for the PS version only (always 480).
Then two bytes; number of colors in the palette (always 256).
Then two bytes; number of palettes.
Then the actual palette data.
Each palette entry is a 16-bit color. This is unusual - normally palettes store as high quality data as possible, usually 24/32 bit. However since FF7 only ever runs in 16 bit I guess there isn't much point storing any other kind of data. Actually, the data is 15-bit (1 mask bit, 5-bit Blue, 5-bit Green and 5-bit Red).

Palettes generally contain a number of colors that's a multiple of 256. This is because the palette is split up into 256-color 'pages' internally. So the first color is page 0/color 0. Color 256 is page 1/color 0. Color 628 is page 2/color 116. You'll see why in the background section.
