It seems a little strange to consider *changing* the color table behind an
application's back as fixing a problem.  But if that's what you want, the
color values are already published in the May 1991 version of Apple IIgs
Technical Note #63, Master Color Values (Table 3).

In 0..F order, the color values are:
  $0000, $0008, $0880, $0888, (0..3)
  $0800, $0808, $0F80, $0F88, (4..7)
  $0080, $0088, $08F0, $08F8, (8..B)
  $0888, $088F, $0FF8, $0FFF  (C..F)
