In IrfanView, you can edit the palete itself.
In the menu, sellect Image|Palette|Edit

You now have a new window containing all the colours from the palette in 
order: 0 to 15 for the top row.

When you double-click a given colour block, you get the colour editing 
dialog from where you can change the actual colour values.
You can change the red, green and blue values by entering the values. 
You can do the same using hue, saturation and brightness.

If you click somewhere on the image, the index position for that pixel 
will be sellected and highlighted in a red frame.
