Remap Colors (submenu)

You can remap the colors of Frames, Brush to match the current color palette.
In contrast Brush to Gradient and Frame(s) to Gradient remaps the current frame colors to the currently selected gradient. This way you can make pixels used the best matching colors of a set of predefined colors.
