As you mentions PseudoClassRGB, I assume you are talking about X11
display styles.
Having had a laptop that used a 16 bit display (yes it was a long time
ago) I can say that 16 bit color is a strange beast indeed.
Basically it is the upper bits of the red, green, and blue channels
to form a mathematical index lookup table..
EG: 5 bits of red, 5 of green, and 6 of blue
This sort of thing can be easilly handled as a 8 bit (24 bit) RGB.
ASIDE: I hated the color scheme as photos often showed distinct
contoring due to the lack of color range (32 shades of red and green
only)
Finally identify will basically identify image color space basied on
what it reads it for its own purposes, this could be slightly different
to what is in the actual image format, for that get a specific format
identification program.
