The trick is vertex colors
Plus: Rare were the absolute masters of vertex colors on the N64. The ground in Banjo Kazooie was AFAIK textured gray with only vertex colors making it green for grass, etc.
I’ve found this claim from a dev that the RAM pack was for “vertex lighting” https://imgur.com/a/dk64-truth-ENjggIj; is that essentially vertex colors? E.g., I am asking if they basically needed the RAM pack for the monkey-tits.
