[comp.graphics] 24 bit to 8 bit mapping

michaelc@farcomp.UUCP (Mike Chaplin) (12/21/89)

building the best possible inverse color table.
So i need to pick the 256 best colors that describe
the image. Any suggestions? (i bet there will be
alot, so perhaps you should just mail them to me!)
This is not a time critical operation, so complicated
algorithms are okay.
Thanks!
