Am not sure if only 4 "blues" would be better, but will try it. Or why would they not have done about the same with 16 bit 565 (red5, green6, blue5) mode ?

Already tought about this, but this would force me to redoo the palette each time i added a new object or other graphic to the game, also each time all other objects would lose a bit of their "beauty" because they get less colors declined from them.

      0 0 0                  0 0 0

      0 0 1                  0 0 7

      0 1 0                  3 5 1
This is very good info you gave me here, thanks a lot, will try to use these values
