Is it me, or are color indexes in the 8-bit standard palette just a
multiple of a lesser number of different colors? When I call UIPickColor
to run it in indexed color mode, it looks like the same colors are
repeated at least 3 times, with yellows especially missing. Could I get
a better spectrum spread with a custom palette? I was thinking of
designing one by nesting 3 r, G and B loops incremented by a constant
step between 0 and 255 over, say, 240 different indexes (leaving the
rest for grayscale values). Would I get something different (and better)
than the standard palette? I know I would get more discrete color values
with RGB colors, but indexes do save a lot of heap space when handling
large arrays.
