while euphoria can only support 256 colours "truly", there is a way
(ahem this is to all those weirdos who were making that gfx library
also) to support 18-bit colour (approx 262 000), also known as "fake
hi-colour"

it goes like this, in your palette of 256 colours, make 63 reds, 63
greens and 63 blues, ranging from the darkest to the brightest
intensity...  then plot a red, green and blue pixel right beside each
other (you'll need hi-res to make this look good) and presto you've
got 262 000 colours...

this might be a little confusing i don't know...  if needed i can
explain a little better
