7 1 to disable palette index write auto-increment
6-4 Select palette for reading or writing
3 Select Sprites palette (0 = first palette, 1 = second palette)
2 Select Layer 2 palette (0 = first palette, 1 = second palette)
1 Select ULA palette (0 = first palette, 1 = second palette)
0 Enable ULANext mode if 1. (0 after a reset)

n.b. Bits 6-4 select palette for reading or writing whereas bits 3-1 select the palette for the display signal generator.

Possible bits 6-4 for palette select (bit 6 selects first/second, 5-4 select type):

Bits 6-4 selects
%000 ULA first palette
%100 ULA second palette
%001 Layer 2 first palette
%101 Layer 2 second palette
%010 Sprites first palette
%110 Sprites second palette
%011 Tilemap first palette
%111 Tilemap second palette

Write will also reset the index of Enhanced ULA Palette Extension ($44), so the next write there will be considered as first byte of colour.
