Question about CLU1_SRGB26 video mode

The docs say: %0001 = CLU1_SRGB26 - 32 1-bit offsets in S lookup 2:8:8:8 pixel longs in stack RAM

The reference for 2:8:8:8 says the first 2 bits are SYNC, I'm a bit fuzzy exactly how this works.

If I want to use this mode for a 1 bit video, I would assume that offsets 0 and 1 are the color tuples that define the pixel color. How do the "SYNC" bits play into this?

I'm working on a tile based text framebuffer with an 8x8 font, just something to give the Prop2 a console.

After reading a bit more, I think this is a better mode, since I can render multiple scanlines into the CLUT, then stream them:

%0111 = STR1_RGB9 * - 1-bit pixels streamed from stack RAM select between 0:3:3:3
colors in S[17..9] and S[26..18]. The stream start address in
stack RAM is %AAAAAAAA plus S[7..0], with S[31..27] selecting
the starting bit.

However, the original question still stands, how does the SYNC play into the color?

    The two colors that are going to be looked up will be 2:8:8:8 data, with the two bits above the RGB data being the sync data. You'll probably want to keep those two bits at 0, as they are only useful when generating sync signals, and would just cause trouble for visible data.
