Similar to how the gameboy pokemon games came in different colors!

Looking at the current colors, it appears there are 4 shades of the blue gray (not counting the gold pins, which I dont think should be changeable). One idea on an implementation is to set 4 hex values referencing the carts palette! for example A5F9 would be colors 10, 5, 15, and 9 from the palette.

Since to my knowledge tic80 doesn't do any stenographic encoding of the cart data (like pico8 does), there's probably nothing stopping me from manually changing the colors as an experiment..
