sprite import help?

Hi all! Does anyone know why my sprites lose one of their colors when I bring them into GB Studio? The original Aseprite drawing (left) has the medium tone highlighting the sprite, but that color is black in GB Studio (right). I did not have this issue with backgrounds. I'm totally new to this so any help is appreciated!

Sprites do only use 3 colors, and transparency.

See the docs ->

Okay I found the issue: I used the built-in Gameboy color scheme in Aseprite, but that seems to be way off. Switching my palette to match the four hex codes from the docs worked! Definitely changes up the look though, so I've got some sprites to redraw...

Thanks Yogi!
