Is there some history to explain the second parameter for colour?
Use the https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/PALETTECOLOR statement, rather than the old QB45 PALETTE command.
As for the major difference in the commands, the biggest change is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness. QB45 stored the values as BGR, while QB64 stores them as ARGB values. In QB45, they followed the https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/DAC format, rather than our modern ARGB format.
You need to be aware of which command, and which format style you're making use of, so that you can format your colors properly with the two commands.
