Bitmaps have information headers which comes before the actual data. If the bitmap has 8 bit graphic data, then the palette is stored between the headers and the bitmap data. The info on the headers is here:

There are actually 3 BITMAPINFOHEADER structures (BITMAPINFOHEADER, BITMAPV4HEADER, and BITMAPV5HEADER) but you can just use the standard BITMAPINFOHEADER. All graphics programs should support all 3 header types.
