Another option, if you can't/won't have an 8-bit screen for some
reason, is to just make a big surface with the same palette as the
tiles, and blit all the little tiles to that, remembering the offset
of each tile. (You could do this at startup, or when packaging, etc.)
Then you use the big surface as the source for all the tiles when
blitting, with different offsets for different tiles.  Since it's just
one surface there's just one palette to change.
