OK, I've just done some experimentation, and it definitely does
it in 16 grays. It also does it in 16 *colours* and 256 grays,
but *not* in 256 colours! Figure that one out...

Is this such a problem though? How often will you be changing
your labels? (I know, I know, there's probably people out there
who change theirs every day :-)
