If the BMP file has a palette then the below code should work:

  FILE *inFile, *outFile;
  inFile = fopen("C:/in.bmp", "rb");
  Rgb Palette[256];
  if ( inFile ) {
    // Bypass headers
    fseek(inFile, sizeof(BmpHeader) + sizeof(BmpImageInfo), SEEK_SET);
    // Load the whole palette
    fread(Palette, sizeof(Palette), 1, inFile);
    fclose(inFile);
  }
