   @rl_dane @cerement SubSky's supposed to be easy to program for (in a low-level language), so I feel like color cells would be too hard to work with.
   Here's a demo of the palette I have in mind. The colors have been rearranged since I made this demo image, but nonetheless there are a few short of 256 colors here so that'd be 1 byte per pixel.

     @rl_dane Some notes on color indexes, from my bobcolor.s lib (for the videogame; it uses this palette):
     A bobcolor color index can usually be interpreted as:
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
     Brightness Saturation Type (often hue)
     with Saturation descending (keeping RGB values generally ascending).
     Type:
     4-15: the 12 hues
     0-3: other types

     @rl_dane The SubSky CPU can only R/W one byte or four bytes at a time, so unfortunately I need to avoid e.g. 2 bytes per pixel, as well. (Still unsure about how to handle audio with this limitation...)
