[pokecrystal] How to temporarily update palettes when choosing a move

Edited to update the question.

I've updated the MoveSelectionScreen routine in pokecrystal to show icons for the move's type and physical/special/status category instead of printing text. So far the palettes aren't updated, so they use entry #0, the color of your Pokémon's back sprite:

I would like to temporarily use palette #7 for the icons, and restore palette #0 when the dialog closes and reveals the back sprite again. The MoveInfoBox routine calls TextBox, which I would expect to fill that whole rectangle with palette #7 already. Presumably it's being overridden later. How do I make that not happen?

My immediate problem has been solved: when the move info dialog opens I load a new SGB layout, and when it closes I reload the BATTLE_COLORS layout. This probably does more work than necessary, but trying to just update one palette entry and a few tiles wasn't working, and updating the whole screen is, so yeah.
