I am wondering if any extensions exist that allow you to not use a color pallet at all and just use exclusively custom colors. for instance using my own custom pixel art or outside assets and preserving the colors of each asset as they are when made outside of makecode. ---

if you have sprites with more than 15 colours you would need to reduce their colour count maybe with an external program.

From what I know, the way the MakeCode Arcade simulator is made, it is always limited to 16 colors. So sadly you can’t have more than 16. At least not at the same time 🙁
