```
Public ReadOnly Property Count As Integer
```
 
```csharp
public int Count { get; }
```
 
### Property Value

## Remarks
 A number of colors in palette depends on the color depth of the image where it is used. 1-bit bitmaps can have only 2 colors, 4-bit bitmaps - 16 colors, 8-bit bitmaps - 256 colors. 8 bit is a maximum bit depth for indexed images, so this property never exceed 256.
