Okay, a legal Graal png has 256 colors, often to its own unique pallette structure.
What you're suggesting would be that, say, a wall image, can just "change" to one of 256 predefined 256-color pallettes.
But what if the wall uses a completely different pallette order? What if the wall goes Black-Green-White and all the other backpals go Red-Yellow-Green-Cyan-Blue-Magenta? The wall will be yellow with red grout for every pallette you use on it, with very slight modifications.
Easy fix, just make sure the target image uses the standard pallette. But how many people are gonna figure THAT one out?!? "I tried to use the cool blue pallette on door.png, but it didn't work! It came out all black and stuff!" |
