nope) limit of colors is 255, do what you want with it...
To use palette mode you can use paint.net and save it with 8 bit, or use JUST one background raw image by using raw.cfg

if you have 3 results of file size then there is 100% using mixed raw images with palette mode

Watchface binary has it's own weird picture format similar to BMP (+transparency). No matter how small are your PNGs.

1. Cut off all unnecessary pixels from your images,
2. Use Palette mode to pack a watchface (don't forget about it's limitations about transparent images, use raw.cfg if needed),
2.1. Use less colors in each image.

Images with a lot of transparency might have some unnecessary pixels. But the transparency itself doesn't enlarge the watchface.

Is there an option to edit priority of image displaying? I mean a layer priority like "z-index" in CSS. For example: if I have a weekday and date image in the same place, I want to change its z-index that one of it would show under or above the second image. This is required for the theme I'm creating so I'll be grateful for any advice.

I guess you're using RAW mode. Try to pack the WF with palette exe again. Quality of some WFs suffer with pure palette mode, in such case make a "raw.cfg" file in the same folder as the WF.json and put numbers of small images in there (small letters/numbers) - e.g. "11,12,13,14" and pack it with palette.exe. Explicitly defined images will use raw mode, the rest of them palette. You can achieve much smaller bin file size with almost the same quality.

I made the f1 faces and used a program named PNGQuant for this, this program reduce colors without seeing much difference but make them work in palettemode. It makes sure the image stays in 256 colors or less with minimal quality loss. It also makes the file size allmost 50% smaller!
