Do we now have more than 255 colors usable?

I've been out of the loop on YR modding forever, I couldn't find anything related to this, but maybe someone here knows something about this?

I know for a fact that ARES allows you to assign a specific palette per unit, but maybe someones done some magic and made it so that there are now over 255 colors available globally?

No. Game processes color with limited bit size at its core.

So, have to use custom palettes to get different set of colors. Content is still paletted/indexed. There are places where PCX/PNG can be used instead of SHP but those are still with limited color processing.

After 2.5 decades, surprisingly it still works on say 4K resolution with patching.
