The Pipes tilesets I've made also have a lot of new colors to use, however if you want to use multiple colors in the same level, it'd be a good idea to make some of them replace some unoccupied block ID slots.
For reference, there are 13 total colors, with some of them being some of the default pipe palettes from SMAS:SMB3.
