Calling out via real-mode bridge would kill performance when color cycling. Luckily, VBE 2.0 provides protected mode interface for some of the functions, and setting the palette is one of them. The asm code is based on Allegro 4.2 `vesa_set_palette_range`. Luckily, Allegro license is extremely permissive.
