for those of you running a mac and annoyed that you cant just paste into MSPAINT, heres a tutorial on how to "transpose" the vanilla palette onto your sprites using gimp. you should be able to use paintbrush, i would have thought (for those with the capacity to try this, hit me up with a reply), but here we go.
download the GIMP. (gimp.org) install it.
open base.rte/palette.bmp
in the main GIMP window, go to file -> dialogs -> Palettes
right click the list, and click "import palette"
select the image "palette.bmp" to import from.
save the palette appropriately, by inputting a name in the import palette dialog.
open your sprite, and go to image -> mode -> indexed and select your palette.
save your image.
you are done
