Just do a GpiSetColor(hps, colorIndex); The GpiSetColor function sets
drawing to the color specified at the given palette index.  The
constants like CLR_BLACK, CLR_RED, etc simply map to the numbers 0
through 15, which are the colors that you shouldn't remap unless you
run out of spare palette entries.
