If I can't blend colors together to make a new one or use colored transparent pixels, could I use dithering to simulate blending while still sticking to the palette? Also, for the Anti-chromatic diversifier, does that mean I can use any shade of the same hue or am I limited to 8 shades?
EDIT: I would also like to ask that if I decide to use the Anti-Chromatic diversifier, can I include a "Palette Swap" option for a multi-color palette?
