I have been trying to figure this out myself.   The answer I have gotten, is 
that GIF's use a CLUT or Color LookUp Table to get the colors for the picture.
I guess different machines use different CLUT's.  If anyone can confirm this,
please do.

With that in mind, does anyone out there know of utilities that can remap the
CLUT of a GIF file?  (I'm especially interested in a Mac version)
