I haven't tried it, but maybe it's to do with the fact that you're quantising the colourmap to 256 values; I think matplotlib computes the exact rgb values using interpolation. If the only reason you're using PIL is to get a .bmp file, maybe you could save the file straight from matplotlib as a .png then externally convert it to a .bmp
