24-bit color doesn't use a palette.  Each pixel directly specifies its own
color through the 3-byte combination RGB values that determine the
intensity of each component color on the screen.  If you're in the right
mode and pump in the RGB values in the right order they come out the right
colors without worrying about a palette
