PSP5 reducing .gif colour depth

Ummmm.... and does anyone know how to reduce the colour depth of an image
in PSP5 (to save it as a .gif) and still preserve the 1 or 2 dominant
colours in an image as "web-friendly" when saving as something *other*
than 16 or 256 cols ?

Situation:
I've got an image that is mostly #669966 (green) and ##FFFFFF (white) and
shades of green in-between.  Drop it to 16 cols, and you can select
Optimised Octree (which I guess is a way of saying "aim for
web-friendly").  Small file size, but it looks rubbish.

Save it as 256 cols, and again you can select Optimised Octree.  End
result looks great, but file size too big.

Reduce the image to X cols (here, I've used 32), and the image is pretty
good and file size is also good, but there is no Optimised Octree option,
and the #669966 and #FFFFFF ends up as #639C63 and #FBFFFB.

And, unlike PSP4, if you open the palate (of the new image) and
double-click on one of the colour-swatches, you can't alter the colour
back to a web-safe one.


Has anyone got any bright ideas?   Thanks in advance   :-)
