A '''color palette''', or simply '''palette''' (also known as a "colormap" or "color index"), is a lookup table of color values. It most frequently used for simple image compression, but can also be used for other purposes. For example, {{goldsrc|2}} reads from a palette to know what color to make legacy particle effects from {{quake|2}}.
