You are always limited to a maximum color *table* size of 256. However,
depending on your display type, you may have a color *palette* size of
up to 16777216.

If you are running IDL on a PC or Mac, then you need to change your
system display setup (independent of IDL) to get more than 256 colors.

You can find a lot of very useful information about colors in IDL at
