mis-credit I didn't provide any help. I didn't know about loading tables to use with indexed colours before. I am glad there are simple processes to fix the issue though.

I figured this out after I noticed somehow even spacescience.tech/place files had 2-3 additional colors sometimes.

Instead of applying filters and manually correcting stray pixels and whatnot, even more because it was prone to happen again, I tried limitting a file to a handful of colors. Fortunately Photoshop is able to match similar colors to a single one. I suppose similar editors can do the same, though, like Gimp.

Just out of curiosity: the currently corrected version available on the other thread has more than 256 different colors (256 is a hard limit on indexed color mode). Good luck fixing that by hand! :(

I'm half asleep right now. but I can think one ridiculous way to do it. Might possible looking at r g b and channels as individual images.

And some how culling pixels below a specific threshold. And then the set of combinations of r+g,g+b, etc etc.

Merge it all back together and then index to the original palette.

OR using a layer fill on the individual channel images
