You can create a new file with the dimensions you want. At this stage Index color does not appear to be an option but you can set it at RGB and immediately convert it with Image > Mode > Indexed Color with the Palette set at "System (Windows)".

Indexed Colour Mode doesn’t support layers.

If you want layers you will have to work in RGB and finally convert to Indexed
