Presuming what you're doing is getting an RGB value from the palette, then what you need is (unsurprisingly) OS_ReadPalette.

R0=logical colour
R1=type of colour (16=normal, 24=border, 25=pointer)

R2 and R3 will return the different flashing states of the colour, in this format:

Bits 0-6 value showing how colour was programmed
7 Supremacy bit
8-15 Red
16-23 Green
24-31 Blue

If you're after getting RGB from a GCOL value, then the format of GCOL is:

Bits 0-1 Tint bits 0-1
2-3 Red bits 2-3 (Other 2 in tint)
4-5 Green 2-3
6-7 Blue 2-3

If you want to convert a palette entry to GCOL, then use ColourTrans_ReturnGCOL:

R0=Palette entry (&BBGGRR00)
Returns GCOL in R0

To convert GCOL to palette though it looks like you'll have to do it manually. From BASIC (With g as the GCOL and c as the output)

c=((g AND 7)*17*256)+((g AND 3)*17*65536)+((g AND 48)*17*16384*4)+((g AND 3)*17*256*65536)+((g AND 192)*17*16*65536)

And from C:

c=((g & 7)*17*256)+((g & 3)*17*65536)+((g & 48)*17*16384*4)+((g & 3)*17*256*65536)+((g & 192)*17*16*65536)

I haven't tested these though so don't expect them to work.
