more color.

Has anyone considered more color?  During the recent Amiga ray-tracing/color
article landslide, I noticed a cry for 24 bits instead of 12.  (The Amiga
folks realized that they might need bigger screens, so you can scroll bitmaps
larger than the screen (fast).  This is just a sidebar)

So now what about higher color quality?  I have heard that film can take as
many as 40-50 bits of color.  Well?  Guess I get to make 6 passes on the QCR.
How to do it though?  A pass of 24, 24, and XX?
