On second thought, this might be dodgy because if the file is sent to a printer, the palette on page 1 may be long gone when page 41 roles around.  So page 41 referencing page 1 would be dodgy.  The most surefire way to protect against devices with limited memory capacity would be to put the palette on each page.  Bloated file, but...

What does PDF do?  That seems to work and quite often is a compact file.  (Perhaps it is the compression that does that.)
