I am thinking that you may be stuck with the basic 16 colors that go 
with the 640 x 480 x 16 color VESA mode. I know that the color map 
is used when you use most image display software, but does GRub 
honor the color map? Another interesting thing is that the 
splash.xpm file is not a 16 color image.
