Mimic the 12-Bit Color Palette on 24-Bit it must be that value 0 (0) - 17 (1) - 34 (2) - 51 (3) - 68 (4) - 85 (5) - 102 (6) - 119 (7) - 136 (8) - 153 (9) - 170 (10) - 187 (11) - 204 (12) - 221 (13) - 238 (14) - 255 (15).

If you're using an editor with a hexadecimal color entry box, an easy way to ensure that a particular color will display properly on the X16 is to look at the contents of this box. If each pair of hexadecimal digits is the same (e.g. 00dd55), the color can be represented in 12-bit RGB.

And even if they aren't the same, you can probably round each pair to the nearest XX value and be close enough (useful when converting from an alien source to X16).

Mind you, I am color blind, so my concept of what is "close enough" might be very different than people with normal color perception. ?

I've used Paint Shop Pro 5 for ~18 years, and I find it is still perfect for my needs. As long as I use my wife's Windows machine ?

You can just let the math do that for you. Any value in the range 0-255 is 8 or less away from a multiple of 17.

Or, avoid the problem by setting the Red value to 0 across your palette and just use the remaining 256 combinations of green and blue.

There’s an Aseprite script posted in the dev tools section. It quantizes the palette to 12-but colors
