Typical uncompressed colored images use 24 or 32-bits per pixel of an image (RGB 8-bits per color). After some basic math of lets say an 8 Megapixel image quickly becomes a very large file on a computer. A type of compression used is to select some colors (typically called a palette) and for every pixel in the original image select a color in the palette that is closest to it (some other techniques exist to make it more accurate, ie dithering). If the palette of colors is smaller than 256 colors than a single byte (8 bits) is all that is needed per pixel to indicate what color in the palette should belong at that pixel.
