According to Dave, apparently even if I create a 256 color screen, only 64 colors are defined in the palette.
It sounds like we need to make sure that the size of the palette matches the number of colors defined on the screen.
It's definitely some kind of bug in the Palette command. Other commands can use the palette, but the Palette command itself creates this glitch.

Not what I said, there are 256 colours, but only 62 of them aren't black. Whatever number of colours you have on your screen, only the first 64 are set by AOZ to specific colours, all the rest will be black until you change them.
