The Palette Color Lookup Table used is the Spring Color Palette (see Figure BBBB.1-3 Resulting Color LUT Spring).

This can be described as follows through the Palette Color Lookup Table:

Red has a constant value of 255

Green has a linear segment that starts at 0 and ends at 255

Blue has a linear segment that starts at 255 and ends at 0

Using the Segmented Color Lookup Table all three can be described by a discrete segment with length 1 to specify the starting value (0,1,value) followed by a linear segment of length 255 with the end-value (1,255,end-value).
