View3200 and ShowPic5.x can view 3200 color pictures.

3200 colors works by a very CPU intensive process that allows the displayed
picture to have a new palette of 16 colors on every line -- with 200 lines
that's 3200 colors. Most pictures that have been converted to 3200 colors
were 256 color GIFs anyway, and do not make anywhere near full use of the
3200 potential colors.
