24. SGB Palette Selection
There is actually only one color palette in the SNES
but it is divided up into several sections for
different SGB functions. These sections are referred to
as Major (M) sections 0-7. Some SGB functions even
divided some of these sections into sections. These
sections are referred to as minor (m) sections. The
large blocks below represent Major sections or palettes
and smaller ones below them represent minor palettes.
There are 4 colors per minor palette and 16 colors per
Major palette:
