Subject: Selecting the most important colors

The graphic processors I'm working with is capable to display 256 colors
out of a palette of 129,000 colors. So I have to decide what are the
256 most important colors to use for object rendering or colored maps.

Are there any algorithms published that explain how to find the most
important 256 colors from i.e. 5,000 ?

I'll put your answers to the list.

Later..................................................Norbert Hahn
