I think I figured some stuff out on my own; I failed to remember that each 8x8 tile is limited to the 3 colors plus the transparent color. I kept thinking of the sprite as the whole image so I couldn't quite grasp how the transparent color was being used.
Being that the case, you can have a whole bunch of colors for a sprite as long as those colors are contained in in their respective tile, which is probably what's going on with Shantae. I'll have to study her sprite to get a full understanding to see if my hypothesis is correct, I'm just kinda just piecing things together as I go along.
