| Short Description | Chooses an ULANext palette index to configure. |
Palette indices 0-127 are INK colours. Entries 0-7 are the standard Spectrum INK colours (except full ink colour mode, when all 0-255 indices are INK colour).
Palette indices 128-255 are PAPER colours. Entries 128-135 are the standard Spectrum PAPER colours and BORDER colours (even in "full INK" mode).
Higher colours can only be used by enabling ULANext mode via Enhanced ULA Control Register ($43).
Layer 2 and Sprite palettes work as "full ink" always, INK/PAPER concept does apply only to Enhanced ULA palette.
