Using these SNES accessories, 1 of 32 predefined color palettes can be applied to the monochrome Game Boy games as they are being run. Each color palette contains 4 colors sourced from the SNES's {{wp|List_of_monochrome_and_RGB_color_formats#15-bit_RGB|15-bit RGB color space}}. A color palette with custom defined color values can be applied to the screen as an alternative. Each color palette works by mapping color over all of the monochromatic tones from the original game's display. However, only a single color palette can be used at any given time that a monochrome Game Boy game is being run, where the entire display gets colorized. | |||
