It should probably be pointed out that that applies to text mode... for 
a plain VGA image, you can use any combination of 16 colors (although 
text will be printed using the above colors, by default in color index 7 
on color index 0.)

For vesamenu, you can use any colors you want; it is rendered as a 
24-bit RGB image.
