The main feature of the Super Game Boy is to give the games color. While SGB Enhanced games come with their own special colors, players can assign their own colors in most games by accessing either the Color Palette Window or the Custom Color Window. The Color Palette Window allows the player choose one of 32 different system color palettes, while the Custom Color Window lets the player adjust the color palette available. A password system at the top of the Custom Color Window saves the changes to the color palette. Pressing {{button|snes|X}} during gameplay will switch between the game's default color palette and any other color palette the player has selected or created. Some of the Super Game Boy-enhanced games, including the extended ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', and ''[[Wario Land II]]'', do not let the player modify the colors through either the Color Palette Window or the Custom Color Window.

In the case of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land III'', if the player could override the colors, many of the system color palettes that appear normal in other games show up as inverted in these two games; this happens because both games invert the palettes to work around the Super Game Boy's palette limitations, and assign the colors in a way to hide the inversion. This is similar to a [[Donkey Kong Land#Super Game Boy Title Screen Palette Bug|glitch]] that occurs in ''Donkey Kong Land''{{'}}s title screen -- this game does not block the player from changing the colors. In addition, in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', if the user could change the colors, part of the border ends up having palette glitches in the black parts of the bananas.
