I worked on a similar project about two years ago.
It involved a small program that took command line arguments to set up a copper
  list however you wanted it.
It would then save the copper list (specifiaction) in a file, and fire up
Deluxe paint, letting you paint in many many more colors than normally
possible.

You would save the picture when you were done, and to view it you would use a 
scripting program that would first set up the copper list, and then load the
picture.

It all worked rather nicely...but an IFF spec would be great!
(by the way: It would be a terrible application for raytracing, since you can't
   change colors on every pixel.)

Good luck!
