It counts the sprite's colours, most used first. Keep them all, reduce them to a count (median cut, then k-means in OKLab, weighted by how many pixels use each colour), or snap them to a palette you paste. Lospec .hex, GIMP .gpl and JASC .pal all work.

Then edit the Swap swatches to recolour; they follow the result palette. Alpha is kept and transparent pixels are left alone. Click a pixel to box everywhere its colour is used. Download PNG is the recoloured sprite.
