I wanted to find this program and extract the avatars from it. With some searching I found that this program is called The Palace. It's a virtual world community chat room sort of thing from 1995. So I went to try to get an old version from archive.org and found one.

I was able to extract the installer, resource hack the program, and get the image, however this is what it looks like.
Does anyone know how I'd make the image color? I'd like to have original quality versions of these avatars.
Looking at the data more specifically, the avatar image is stored as RCDATA in PALACE32.exe. I can also find a "COLORTABLE" in the executable too, which might be what applies the color to the image. However other than that I'm not really sure what to do. Does anyone know how it may be applying color to the image for the dialog?
