The program exists, but it's still in beta stages. It's known as OS SHP Builder 3.

Are you guys sure he's talking about RA2?

He's talking about ra1 palletes, otherwise he would not ask this question.

Translation:
Hello there, can anyone tell me how to convert the voxels and shp's to the Red Alert 1 palletes? I tried to make a program for it, but the program doesn't match enough colours to make it work.

Answer:
No, they use way diffrent palletes as far as I know, and Red Alert doesn't use voxels.

oh right... I forgot he didnt post a 2 after RA. But, My Trust, you are wrong. Palettes are something that weren't changed from TD to RA2:YR.

RA1, TS, and RA2 use the same palette format.

You can use XCC Mixer or OS SHP Builder to convert SHPs into other palettes.

I made a special set of conversion palettes for converting TS & RA2 units to RA1 or C&C1, or any way between these 4 games. You can grab 'em here:
http://www.planetcnc.com/ra-tech/files/manager/detail.asp?iFile=209&iType=13

Quite simply, they are just the original palettes with all team colors changed to dark purple. This is a color that's barely used in C&C, so it prevents the usual problem of team colors being mixed up in the process.

So just convert a SHP to PCX (preferably one big PCX) with the purple palette for that game, then load (nearest color) one of the other game palettes into it, save, and convert back.

The palettes are in there both as raw C&C palette and as JASC Paint Shop Pro palette.

...using these palettes on voxels seems pretty useless though, since RA1 doesn't use voxels Confused
