the way i see it, it makes perfect sense to have 16bit depth to the colours
even if the screen is tiny. sure, 4096 colours might not be all bad, but
256 colours clearly isnt enough. especially as it remaps 24bit rgb values
(the java work with 24bit values) onto 256 colour using a 3:3:2 palette.
which, of course, looks ugly.

if im wrong and if its possible to actually set the palette somehow please
let me know. it would solve some 'problems' on P503i/F503i here. :)
