I know about that and about setting the options as I save. 
But, at that point I can no longer _select_ colors, only
reduce them and accept the generated compromise (which is almost
always worse than I could have manually tweaked beforehand).

I'm not sure I agree with that. We web-boys tend not to assume
too much about users' systems, based on some bad experiences
out in the field. Keep in mind that 95% of PC users don't have a 
clue how to set color or display settings. If someone didn't do
it for them, then it hasn't been done.

I have studied that issue and am fairly good at deciding which 
format is best for which areas. With that in mind, I'd still like
to be able to set the colors in an area so that I generate the 
most optimum file. After all, there's usually a web safe color
that will work for a button or divider... so why not use it ? 

But, it's sounding like my basic goal of different palettes
in different areas is not a quick fix.
