'''“Expected colors are from Palette 0” when using a non-0 palette'''

Even with the Palette ID number set in the UI, '''the tool first looks at the index number of the ''transparent'' color to start checking the rest.''' This means if you mistakenly used the transparent color from Palette 0 when making your sprite, the editor ''now expects everything to come from'' ''Palette 0''. “Color 49” is the black outline color in ''Palette 3''. Because “color 49” is not an expected color, the editor rejects the image.

Even with the transparency and outline colors corrected, you may still get an “expected colors” error, despite them matching the palette at a glance. Note that Palettes 1 and 3 share a set of greens (index 27, and index 59). Using the “incorrect green” causes the error (especially if indexing a ~~previously-~~RGB-mode sprite; the drawing program could attempt to auto-assign incorrect indexes). This is why it's recommended to work directly with the colormap.

To fix any of these errors, correct the offending colors in your PNG and import again.
