If we forget about HAM(6/8) for the moment then yes.

Of course.

There are some programs for this job e.g. PPaint, AdPRO etc.

What do I have to hear young man! Look two lines above and see what I've
written! ;-)

You control this feature by use of the palette (Menu Display/Palette
(RAmiga+T).

If you are in the "Palette Control" window activate "Custom Palette" and then
you can choose how many of the actual colors you want to use.

If for example you want to leave the first 8 colors of a 256 color picture
free then set "Colors (Used)" to 248 and "Offset Color Zero" to 8.

If you want to leave the last 16 colors of a 256 color picture free then set
"Colors (Used)" to 240 and "Offset Color Zero" to 0.

If you want to leave the first 6 colors and the last 2 colors of a 256 picture
free then set "Color (Used)" to 248 and "Offset Color Zero" to 6.

The easiest way to control your settings is to select the "Edit..." gadget in
the "Palette Control" window and set all colors to e.g. black on the "Palette
Editor" screen. Then activate your changes, render your picture and check the
"Palette Editor" screen again to see which colors have been used.

Hope I could help.
