DESCRIPTION

When they are not operating on a true color desktop (or "Workbench", in
Amiga terminology), the majority of PC Internet browsers remap and
dither all images using a 216-color "isopalette", which is a palette in
which the entries are equally distributed in the color space. This
allows for fast and efficient dithering, and is in general preferred to
other methods involving dynamic color allocation and change based on
the different images.

Internet browsers by Microsoft, Netscape and others share a common
isopalette, consisting of 216 colors. The remaining colors out of 256
change from browser to browser. Of these 216 colors, 6 are grays. This
archive contains the palettes (in color, as well as the subset of grays)
ready for use on the Amiga. Whenever this choice is easily practicable,
we recommend to consider using these colors for palette-based graphics,
especially for large surfaces of the same color, which would otherwise
risk to be dithered by the browser.

If your chip set does not support 8-bit color resolution (go in the
Edit Palette requester, and see if the maximum value associated to the
color knob is 256, or less), we suggest to force the color resolution
by setting REDBITS, GREENBITS and BLUEBITS to 8 in Personal Paint's
"Startup_1.set" settings file.
