Summary: Game-specific 'EGA' palettes for Amiga versions

Initial Comment:
A recent build added an Amiga-specific palette for 16-
color games which seemed significantly higher contrast 
than before (bright colors brighter, dark colors darker); 
these were likely taken from one specific game (in my 
case, not Amiga Indy3).

The colors in the current snapshot are (RGB444, taken 
directly from scumm/gfx.cpp):
000 00C 0C0 0CC C00 C0C C60 CCC
666 66F 0F0 0FF F99 F0F FF0 FFF

In Amiga Indy3 [v1.4], the colors should be (RGB444, 
captured from WinUAE):
000 00B 0B0 0BB B00 B0B B70 BBB
777 77F 0F0 0FF F88 F0F FF0 FFF

As I don't own Amiga versions of any other games 
(Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Loom), I don't know 
what they use 

It's certainly possible that each 16-color Amiga game 
used a slightly different builtin palette; the appropriate 
palette could be selected based on the game loaded.

Just a suggestion: ScummVM could use external palettes if
present in the game data directory. Make it a simple text
file which just lists the colors in such RGB hex triples as
posted here. This way everyone easily could tweak them for
their own.
