The problem, as you noticed, is that the color palette is different.  Although
the palette is saved with a PICT, which is what your startupscreen document
is, for some brain damaged reason the palette is ignored in startupscreens
and the default Apple palette is used.  I've never looked into this closely
to see if there is some way around it.  I doubt it -- the SUS is loaded
before any INITs are loaded.  What I've done is just use a picture that
doesn't have any delicate shading.  They typically look pretty good in the
default palette.
