Methods, systems, and devices for performing entropy coding for a palette escape symbol in palette mode coding and decoding are described. An example method for video processing includes performing a conversion between a video having one or more video regions including a current video block and a bitstream representation of the video, wherein the bitstream representation conforms to a format rule that the current video block is coded using a palette mode coding tool, wherein a binarization of an escape symbol for the current video block uses an exponential-Golomb (EG) code of order K, wherein K is a non-negative integer that is unequal to three, and wherein the palette mode coding tool represents the current video block using a palette of representative color values and wherein the escape symbol is used for a sample of the current video block coded without using the representative color values.
