I was my impression that colors 256 to 511 are dithered combinations
of colors 0 to 15, and that the RGB was the calculated average of
the two dithered colors.
The RGB of dithered colors is just mentioned in the FAQ as a convenience.
If we define a different RGB than the average, then renderings in
old and new programs will appear differently...
