well the limtations are harsh but still theres plenty that can be done while following them all
and yes can change palettes each tile but that means that you assign palettes by every 16x16 region, and not every 8x8 region
in total you are only allowed 4 four-color palettes, one of those 4 colors is present in all four palettes
so all in all that means you can have 13 different colors onscreen using only tiles (the way it works is exactly like the sprite palettes, but instead of transparency you pick one common color)
and for any one screen (or "level" if you have scrolling in your game) you are allowed a set of 256 8x8 background tiles as well as 256 sprite tiles
also note you can only have 64 sprites onscreen at any given time
