No, the codes aren't 16 bit colors --- they're simply indices into the "colors"
array.  You can find the actual code that sets colors into the array in
main.c

Color 255 is actually 73% gray.

I made a little table once for quick reference.  It's in my dbfawk tutorial
on http://www.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/
