partition red, green, and blue channels into a 6 x 6 x 6 color space, allowing 216 colors in total. Not perfect, but amazingly good, I think.
So you are doing FS dithering with a fixed uniform palette?
The problem comes when I have a small molecule with not too many colors. If I go just over 256, then the FS algorithm cuts this down to something like 64 colors. I'm wondering if I could get some advise as to how to optimize a set of colors down to 255 colors without undershooting in such a dramatic way while still using FS.
You are looking for color quantization methods. You can find description of an octree method in Graphics Gems I. GIMP uses median cut. See https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ph/ciq_thesis for Heckbert's thesis on median cut. Mukund
