Indexed images have a base color space, RGB or CMYK. Grayscale is inherently indexed because it contains 256 or less unique colors. RGB and CMYK indexed images have less than 256 unique colors. Which is why I like to compare them to flate compressed images. You can think of it as a losless form of image compression.
