## GIMP's palettes format
GIMP palettes are stored using a special file format, in files with the extension `.gpl`.
Every palette must have the following structure:
```
GIMP Palette
Name:
Columns:
#
0 0 0 Black
255 255 255 White
```
* `GIMP Palette` - it must be the first line of the file.
* `Name: ` - sets the name of the color palette.
* `Columns: ` - is just an indication for displaying the palette inside GIMP.
* `# ` - comments must start with a `#`. All comments are ignored by GIMP.
* ` 0 0 0 Black` - RGB values for the color followed by the color name.
Here is an simple example:
```
GIMP Palette
Name: Example
Columns: 2
# A simple example
0 0 0 Black
255 255 255 White
255 0 0 Red
0 255 0 Green
0 0 255 Blue
```
> **Note**: The RGB values don't need to line up.
