An example device includes a memory configured to store at least a portion of an encoded video bitstream; and one or more processors that are implemented in circuitry and configured to: determine, based on a parameter of a first block of video data, a maximum number of entries to be used for palette-mode coding of the current block; generate, based on the determined maximum number of entries and based on a palette predictor, a palette for the first block of video data, the palette including one or more entries each including a palette index that is associated with a color value; decode, from the encoded video bitstream and for the first block of video data, index values for samples of the first block that identify entries in the palette; and reconstruct, based on the index values, the samples of the first block.
