Generating a target image having a target palette from a source image. In general, in one aspect, a technique for generating from a source image a target image comprising target pixels having colors limited to colors found in a target palette includes: determining a source color of a region of the source image corresponding to a location of a target pixel; generating two or more candidate colors for the source color, where the candidate colors are in the target palette; selecting one candidate color from the two or more candidate colors; and setting a target color of the target pixel to be the selected candidate color.
