I think I know what you are talking about.  You want to make sure 
all of the sprites are using the same palette, right?

The easiest way to do this is to take all of them, and paste them onto
a single image.  Then dither down the resulting image to the desired
palette size. (This way you will get a palette that is closer to 
optimal for all of them)

Then you can load up the big file into grabber, and pick it apart into
the original sprites, or you can do this with PSP too.

The higher the color depth the sprites start out at, the better the results

will be.

Anyways, hope it helps.
