Can you please further clarify, I do not understand the answer in
relation to the question.

I am not worried about the 8 bit per color component.
I am trying to allocate more than > 256 color cells.
An example, I would like to use DirectColor to create 1024 shades of
gray.

1024 shades of grey requires 1024 shades of red, green and blue. 8 bits doesn't allow for that.
