Color

Enum

Source: Color.h

Description

Named color indices into the active 16-entry palette.

Enumerator values are the PR32 palette indices 0-15, so a Color is a palette slot, not an RGB value: the same enumerator resolves differently under each PaletteType.

Legacy names are aliases, not extra colors. LightBlue, Teal, Olive, Gold and Brown collapse onto the nearest of the 16 slots, and every gray name (MidGray, LightGray, DarkGray, Silver) resolves to the single Gray slot. Two aliased names compare equal.

Transparent (255) is a sentinel, not a color. The renderer and blitter must intercept it; it must never be resolved against a palette, and passing it to a drawing primitive is a no-op.
