First, you may want to post this to comp.graphics also. There
they have human factors types and references to the SIGGRAPH
journals where just your type of palette compression could
have been discussed in the past.

Second, I wouldn't weigh BLUE as heavily as I would RED and
GREEN. BLUE is harder for humans to see. This would have drastic
changes in both your most popular color algorithm and your best
fit algorigthm. Think about it, I would say that color (RGB) (332)
should be lumped together with  colors (333) and (331).

Third, I don't think .tech is the appro place for this (but I am
not sure, so I post here too). .tech is for technical Amiga stuff,
you have asked a technical graphics question, not dealing with amiga
system function calls, amiga system programming, etc.
