So I read this page:
http://www.smspower.org/Development/Palette
and got some code from it and put it in my program:

ld hl, $C000 ; CRAM address $0000
rst 10h ; Assume this function sets the VDP address
ld a, $00 ; Color data
out ($BE), a ; CRAM unchanged, latch = $00
ld hl, $C021 ; CRAM address $0021
rst 10h ; Set the address again
ld a, $0C ; Color data
out ($BE), a ; CRAM word at $0020 is now $000C, and the data at $0000 is unchanged.

But all I can do is change the first color in the bg palette. What do I need to do to change the second sprite palette? I've tried changing values and nothing changes (well, I can change the color, I just can't change what color I want to change!)

This code is telling you how to do something weird, not something useful.

To change palette address x, set the "address" to $c000 + x. Remember that there are two bytes per entry for the Game Gear.
