But, Kevin!  You didn't SAY that you were choosing 4096 colors out of
a 16M color space.  In fact, your most recent postings were the first ones
that said anything about 16M colors at all.  Understand that we have
been assuming that you were saying that a TOTAL of 4096 colors were
sufficient, and that we have been saying that it isn't (just as you
have just admitted).  I'd KILL for a 4096 color pallette out of a 16M
color space!
