CGRAM (Color Generator[2] RAM) is where palettes are stored. The SNES uses 15-bit color here. It is a total of 512 bytes. For each of the 256 color entries:

  • bits 0 to 4 are the red intensity
  • bits 5 to 9 are the green intensity
  • bits 10 to 14 are the blue intensity

In all background modes, sprites use the second half of CGRAM.
