BLA BLA BLA...sorry,you was making my head hurt.

Lookhere feller,since you seem to know so much about
colors and stuff,why dont you answer me this:
suppose i gots an 8 bit palette that has some
colors in it like so:

,--r g b
|  | | |
0--0,0,0
1--1,7,9 
2--2,8,9
3--5,1,2
4--7,8,3

and

i also gots a pixel on my screen that wants to
be as close to 1,6,2 as it can be,but can only
choose from the existin palette of colors.

what would be a good way of figurin out what
color i allready gots what is closer to the
color i wants than the rest of them colors i 
allready got?  

and fer trivia porposes witch of them colors
up there is closest to 1,6,2 ?


to everyone else
I reckon this is off topic kinda,but this fella seems
like he knows a thing or 2 about colors so i felt like
i had to ask while i hads me a chance.

catcha later,
 Mighty oseer and reckoner of hard to reckon things KROGG,er somtin like
that.
