# Palette viewer

## What's it for

The palette viewer is for people who do graphics hacking and want to know the exact details of how the game colour system (`PLAYPAL` and `COLORMAP`) works. It lets you know, for example :

- how colour numbers are mapped to RGB values,
- how colours change with brightness,
- how many colour numbers are mapped to by a given colour number,
- how many colour numbers a given colour number maps to.
