in argcmdr's xcc tutitorial it talks about having the correspondant palettes applied when converting pcx to shp, what are palettes?

[xcomet]

palletes are handlers of proper coloring. like fire01.shp uses ANIM.PAL when the animation (fire01.shp) plays ingame.

[Xgamer]

palletes are color tables that tell which colors an image uses. It saves space, so the game can load them faster.

...as the palette is on a separate file and doesnt need to be loaded on every graphic.
