Different official tilesets use (slightly) different colors for the sprite palette. Here's how they're grouped. For example, carrot1.j2t and easter99.j2t use the exact same colors, but carrot1n.j2t has different colors. What I'm calling "default" includes colon1, beach, beach2, jungle1, jungle2, inferno1, infernon, xmas1, xmas2, xmas3, town1, town2: almost every HH98/TSF tileset uses it (although hauntedh1 is very often totally unique), but even before then it was still the most common.

Generally, colors weren't made up from scratch each time, you see the same gradients recur across different tilesets in varying configurations. Here's the finer details:
