I'm having some trouble tracking them down, but yes, that is the plan.

Why exactly is this necessary?  By background you mean the blue background?
 Wouldn't that already be there?

Hmm.  I wonder if it would have been possible to bit-pack the color storage
since there are only two possibilities.  Probably too slow.

Has anyone tried hacking the color so that there is a better contrast
between black and white?  I don't think it's possible to have the black
sprite be black, right?
