Use the 6x6x6 color cube.

Try this palette, the one I used in DOSArena:
0: magic pink (r=63 g=0 b=63) for transparency
1-15 the standard DOS colors
16-31 color ramp from black to white
32-39 whatever you want (for palette animation)
40-255 a 6x6x6 color cube
(0, 12, 25, 38, 51, 63 for each component)
Oh, by the way, this is a good question to ask the
Allegro mailing list. Find out how at Allegro's homepage:
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/
There's another article I wrote in this thread that tells
how to extract this palette from DOSArena.
