Aha, that's the trick though, if you've played the original gb_pal.wad you'll see the COLORMAP gives depth by shading the original texture's colours, so there's more detail than if you just flattened out the textures into 4 colours.

As for my PLAYPAL, I had to really screw around with the colour levels of the Doom palette then attempt to convert it into a 4 colour palette. it's not perfect.
