I want to replace some colors in the wireframe palette.... but I can't even find any palettes in the MPQs. What are they called? What is the path? PyPAL (SC1 Modding Suite) lets me open .pal, .jasc, and .riff, but I found no files with these extensions in any of the MPQs.
Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast
They are stored as *.pcx files. The wireframe palette specifically is game\twire.pcx.

Why does the .pcx only contain these few colors wheras the actual full palette used by icons is much bigger and allows creating WarCraft-styled icons: EXAMPLE IMAGE
I am trying to make WC2-styled icons out of SC1 wireframes: I thought I could fake lifebars by switching out some of the damage zone colors for green and red: IMAGE ILLUSTRATING MY IDEA FOR 'FAKED' ICON LIFEBARS
Hmmm, maybe there's a better way to make lifebars? Can I manipulate which colors are replaced by which through some plugin?
EDIT: I managed to replace the colors of the zerg damage zones in a way that lets me 'fake' a healthbar: explanatory image. I also attached the explanation to this post for future searchers. In combination with what I wrote here, it should allow even beginners to make wireframe icons with healthbars

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.[08:06 am]
NudeRaider -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
