Does anyone know where to find the palette used in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Or how to get it from the game?
What's keeping you from grabbing a screenshot and loading it into a paint program?
Wrong forum, btw.

Well, it's a 256-colour game, yes? A screenshot would be at the colour depth he's running his OS at.
Well, a decent program allows reducing the picture's palette to the actually used colors. Plus one can pick them off the image.
I imagine there's no fixed palette anyway; the screenshots all seem to have less than 64, so I guess they used 16 or so fixed slots for the sprites and GUI and chose the rest depending on the background.
I cannot confirm this at the moment, but if you take a screenshot using DOSBOX's own screenshot feature you may get the shot in its original 8-bit glory, but as Khris mentioned, these games usually use dynamic palettes, so you probably couldn't get a universal palette anyway.
Alternately, when in the good old DOS days actually it was very common to use screen capture TSRs that would capture the screen it its entirety to a file when you press the assigned key. The best one I ever used was CAMERA.COM that came with the PC version of Deluxe Paint II Enhanced, but whether this is usable depends on whether these Lucasfilm games took full control of the keyboard.
