The big problem is...
The sources in "Graphics Gems" are written in C.
On the net, I tried to find the similar resource in Java.
But no result at this time :-(

Does the good color palette solve the dither problems?

I agree with you.
The better color palette should be implemented.
I'll continue to work with this issue at my free time.
Whenever I found the solutions, I'll post it to this list.

Happy Java programming!
