Looks like it doesn't. Instead it just wants the first and last 10 colors (20
total) to be the standard Windows/VGA base palette. As long as you don't target
8-bit display users, you are free to use whatever you want for the other 236.

But... if you are targeting 8-bit users, they do have a recommended palette to
go to (the office palette)

Anyway, that's basically what we used to need to deal with in Windows
multimedia, and making a set of images to a single 8-bit palette containing
those 20 colors in the top and bottom 10 was a common thing.
