You have 16 different colours to choose from. The palette refers to colour *indexes*.. this is a *FEATURE*, not a bug. It means you can (*IF YOU WANT*) share a colour between multiple event types without changing the colour for each event. If you don't want to share the colour, you select another custom colour from the palette. You should have more than enough colours to work with to create the colour scheme you want unless you want every single event to have its own colour, in which case I hope to god you're not a girl and/or don't dress yourself or put on your own makeup or touch anything revolving around colours.
Long story short, you can easily have two events use two colours by selecting a different palette colour *index* for each of the events. If you share the index among event types, they will obviously share whatever colour you choose for that index. Separate the events into different colour indexes, problem solved. This isn't a problem with mIRC, just your ability to configure it.
edit: if you still think this is a problem, then your issue really is with mIRC's 16 colour indexes not being enough for you, and Collective was in fact right. Otherwise, properly configuring mIRC's colours should be enough to make you as happy as you were on xchat.
