Abstract
Palette-based, multi-tint, named-color methods and systems utilize a pixel-by-pixel indexing technique in which individual index values into a palette of interest can be used in different ways for rendering associated images across different devices. For some devices, the index values are used to index into the palette of interest to ascertain a specific indexed color value that is then used to render that pixel of the associated image. For other devices, the index value is used as a means to compute a color value that these other devices then use to render that pixel of the associated image.
