NewGRF Technical Discussions • Creating custom colours

Currently I am able to recolour some vehicles, mostly flatbed trucks, to indicate the class of cargoes they carry - it's just eye candy really. However, it seems that I am limited to the default company colour set , ie PALETTE_CC_ORANGE (or blue, green, white and so on)

Is there any way I can create and use different colours from the palette? and if so, how can I do in in simple NML code?

I'm guessing it's either impossible or deceptively simple but my research has got me nowhere.

Thanks in advance...
