Are there any restrictions to colors?

[Rene Mori]

This might sound like an obvious one, but are there any limitations to colors when creating textures/weapons/monsters e.t.c? Because I would like to create my own color palette, but I'm not sure if new ports of doom could support them. And I apologize if this was already asked/answered, but I couldn't find any defined info on this topic.

You can add any colour to the palette, but you can only define 256 colours. You will have to regenerate the colormap as well. Vanilla Doom does not otherwise impose any other limitations. Ports thus shouldn't either.

Ah, I see, thanks for clarification.

Depends on your port of choice too.  More advanced ones support true-color, so you can use whatever colors you like.
