"Sprites use one of two shared palettes. The palette which is used is determined on a per-sprite basis. Yes, they have 3 colours each."

Didn't know that one! That's p interesting.

so you could have 2 of these 4 combinations and that's for the entire game? Dang.

You aren't limited to that for the whole entire game - the palettes can be changed at pretty much any point. But there are two of them, they have 3 colours each, and they are sourced from the only 4 colours you'll be using for the entire game.

With that said, there are games which put one sprite on top of another and achieve all 4 colours. So if you're not spamming sprites you can probably get away with 4+transp.
