While trying to get a good palette for my new units, to fit in
well with the existing tiles etc, I came across some strangeness
in the current palettes (despite the colour fix-up some time ago).
(Note: for colour, read color, if preferred :-)
While the units and tiles share the same palette, many of the
colours in the units and tiles are just slightly different from
the colours in small.xpm, and also some of the "standard" colours
hardwired in the code.
For reference, the first attachment shows all of the colours
currently used, along with where:
TILES: tiles.xpm
UNITS: units.xpm
SMALL: small.xpm
STD_*: (coded)
(The colour descriptions I just made up from what they look
like to me.)
Colours marked with '+' are very close to another colour,
and I think should be removed. Colours '*' are less close,
and could possibly be used for shading etc, but I think can
probably also be removed safely. Colours '**' are not that
close to other colours, but have only a few uses and can
readily be adjusted. Once could be more ruthless to similar
colours, but I don't think that's necessary, and would
require more care.
So the second attachment is my proposed palette to use
for the current tiles (and a "base" palette for tilesets
build on them, such as my new units). It suggests slightly
changing STD_RACE13, and I'd also consider changing
STD_YELLOW (due to the problem Kris brought up, possibly to
one of the other yellows here) but I haven't experimented
with anything yet.
New xpms with these colours are at

While I was changing the units, I decided to also put in
Frank Muzzulini's artillery icon. (Which is no longer in
my new units, and fits the style of the current units,
and is a better artillery icon than the current one IMO.)
I've also revised my new units (those so far) to use this
palette, plus some additional colours:
40 40 40 DWP Dark Grey
190 100 50 DWP Light Brown
132 23 156 DWP Purple
153 89 128 DWP Pale Purple
