Good point...

But sometimes you may want to cooperate with them on it. For example, if
you're doing some sort of lighting effects or palette cycling, you may
want to (for examples) arrange the palette with certain colors in
certain locations, or make sure that you have 16 shades of grey.

However, it's always a good idea to tell the artists your technical
constraints, and then leave them as much freedom as possible.
