    Fix bug 692235: Rendering to 8bit colors shows bad colors.

    The display device uses an RGBK space for 8 bit rendering. Currently
    this corresponds to a palette of 96 colors; 2 bits each for R,G,B,
    supplemented by 16 greys.

    This review alters it to use a 6x6x6 RGB cube, supplemented by 40 grey
    levels.

    In fact, this is slightly wasteful as we repeat the black and white
    representations as color and as greyscale, but it's a huge improvement
    on what we had before.

    No cluster differences expected as we don't test the display device.

Thanks.
