  1. @metaltao Indexed is what GIMP calls the paletted color mode. A new image you create in it is done in RGB (the full 256^3 colors that can be declared in color space), and you can switch it back and forth between that and indexed, which uses a set palette of selected colors. When you switch it to indexed you can either use a palette you've put together or have it generate one from the image. If you limit the palette to fewer colors than the image contains, GIMP picks the colors with the widest variety to match as much of the image as closely as it can, and the colors that aren't exact matches are either dithered, if you opted to use that, or simply snapped to the closest matching color.
