I understand that. I was asking whether RENDER can deal with a gray
ramp of a different size than the diagonal of the colour cube.
The 9 + 4 x 4 x 4 scheme gives excellent results (to my eyes) while
leaving a lot of colour cells free. I was suggesting that you should
try implementing a similar colourmap for RENDER, and see what the
results look like.

Just like you, I consider 8 bit colour displays to be obsolete, and I
am not interested in putting much effort into making DPS work well on
those. (8 and even 4 bit grayscale displays are quite nice, on the
other hand.)
