Most color postscript output has 
the rgb color definitions embedded within it, right?
So why does pstoppm.ps define and use its own colormaps?
ppm24run even seems to use the default X colormap.
Is there a newer version of pstoppm.ps that addresses this 
problem, i.e. that uses the colors defined in the
postscript file?
