The last 2 bottom rows, colors 224 to 255 are normally "fullbright" and will not be affected by shadows on properly functioning Quake ports. The number of fullbrights are actually determined by the gfx/colormap.lmp file. Fullbrights are broken in [[GLQuake]] and some Quake ports based off of GLQuake. Color 255 is transparent for sprites, 2d lmps, and gfx.wad entries (excluding [[conchars]], in which case it is black (color 0) that's made transparent) The parameters for the [color] console command are the row #, but is restricted to rows 0 - 13:

The colormap is a table used for lighting in software Quake engines. It contains a column of 64 values per each palette color. Each value is an index into the palette representing as closely as possible the original color brightened or darkened: shade 0 is double bright, shade 32 is the original color, and shade 63 is black.

"Fullbright" colors are those which are not lit in the colormap, simply using the original color for all 64 shades. These colors, when used in textures and model skins, will not be affected by lighting. Fullbrights are used for things like fire and glowing lights. In Quake these are the last 32 colors in the palette.

Since the [[GLQuake]] engine ignores the colormap, it doesn't support fullbrights. Most user-modified engines have fixed this problem.

The colormap is stored in gfx/colormap.lmp. The version included with Quake is 16385 bytes. Since the colormap only requires 16384 bytes (256 * 64), I'm not exactly sure what the extra byte (<tt>0x20</tt>) at the end is for.

John Carmack officially put palette.lmp in the public domain to make Quake ports easier, so it is legal to, for example, embed it right into an engine executable. Colormap.lmp can also be considered public domain as it is trivially derived from the palette.

Color 255 is transparent for sprites, 2d lmps, and gfx.wad entries (excluding conchars, in which case it is black (color 0) that's made transparent). The parameters for the color console command are the row #, but is restricted to rows 0 - 13.

palette.lmp

The palette is stored in gfx/palette.lmp. It consists of 256 RGB values, coming out to 768 bytes in total.

Colormap

Colormap.png

The colormap is a table used for lighting in software Quake engines. It contains a column of 64 values per each palette color. Each value is an index into the palette representing as closely as possible the original color brightened or darkened: shade 0 is double bright, shade 32 is the original color, and shade 63 is black.

"Fullbright" colors are those which are not lit in the colormap, simply using the original color for all 64 shades. These colors, when used in textures and model skins, will not be affected by lighting. Fullbrights are used for things like fire and glowing lights. In Quake these are the last 32 colors in the palette.

Since the GLQuake engine ignores the colormap, it doesn't support fullbrights. Most user-modified engines have fixed this problem.

colormap.lmp

The colormap is stored in gfx/colormap.lmp. The version included with Quake is 16385 bytes. Since the colormap only requires 16384 bytes (256 * 64), I'm not exactly sure what the extra byte (0x20) at the end is for.

Legal status

John Carmack officially put palette.lmp in the public domain to make Quake ports easier, so it is legal to, for example, embed it right into an engine executable. Colormap.lmp can also be considered public domain as it is trivially derived from the palette.
