Weissblatt's ''color palette'' is defined in a set of special [[Lump|Lumps]] which define what colors can be used by [[Flat|Flats]] and [[Doom Picture|Pictures]].

== Color Palette Format ==
Color palettes are simple dumps of 24-Bit RGB888 values. Each color palette consists of 14 pages of 256 color values each. Given 8 bits per-color per-channel, this amounts to a total file size of 10.5 kB.

==== COLORMAP ====
''COLORMAPs'' are translation tables used to calculate light levels in Doom and by extension Weissblatt. They are 256x32 "pixels" large, covering for each palette color as well as 32 possible light levels, which are automatically calculated in-engine. Unlike color palettes, a COLORMAP's pixels are stored as palette indices though, ''not'' RGB values.

==== TINTTAB ====
''TINTTAB''s are a format first defined in [[wikipedia:Hexen:_Beyond_Heretic|Hexen]] [https://doomwiki.org/wiki/TINTTAB] to pre-calculate color values. Like COLORMAPs they are simple byte index-based translation tables, however TINTTABs are defined as 256x256 pixels, offering a translation between any two colors within the color palette.
