Each GIF frame has 256 colours max but you can overlay frames partially and/or using transparency with a minimal delay to effectively get more than 256 colours on the screen at a time

Fun fact: GIFs can display more than 256 colors!

While it's true that individual GIF frames can display at most 256 colors, you can overlay multiple frames with a local color table plus transparency and/or logical positioning to create a GIF displaying more than 256 colors at any given instant. You must use the "do not dispose" or "unspecified" frame disposal method for this to work.

Note: if your GIF is set on repeat, and you use a delay of 0 between frames, some GIF renderers will impose a minimum 100ms delay between frames. For broad compatibility, consider a delay of 1 (i.e. 10ms) and/or test broadly.

Much appreciated 🙏

Forgive me, what do you mean by hicolor?
