I think it could be either of two things.

     1.  The GIF image uses a custom colour lookup table (most do) which
         does not match your standard Apple clut (if your using Giffer,
         try the display using system colours option to see if this is the
         problem).  If this is the problem send me e-mail, as I've posted
         a way around this before.

    2.  The other possibility is (and I haven't seen this in a long while),
        that you need to re-set the monitors cdev in the control panel to
        256.  Actually select it, click on 256 (even though it is already
        displayed.. this got me), close the control panel and re-boot.
