Characters != Bytes, a character may take up to 3 bytes if UT-8 encoded. So a 255 character column may take up to 765 bytes whereas the max. length for an index is 255.

Something needs to be clarified because the behavior is related
to the memory engine:
mysql> Create table t1 (c1 CHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 , PRIMARY KEY
-> (c1(90)));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> show create table t1;
+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| t1 | CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`c1` char(255) character set utf8 NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`c1`(90))
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> Create table t2 (c1 CHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 , PRIMARY KEY
-> (c1(90))) engine=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> Create table t3 (c1 CHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 , PRIMARY KEY
-> (c1(90))) engine=memory;
ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 255 bytes

Acording the Manual: MEMORY tables allow up to 32 indexes per table, 16 columns per index, and a maximum key length of 500 bytes.
