A uniform palette is one which contains a uniform distribution
of all RGB colors (well, 256 equi-spaced colors in the RGB
cube) that allows any picture to be displayed, although rarely
extremely well.  Many quantization routines map to this palette.
The stdpal8.c contains a 208 color uniform palette for just
this purpose.
