A problem arises when the 256 colors that are being stored in the gif file are not the same 256 colors the computer is able to display.
Its drawback is that it is limited to 256 colors and does not compress all that well.
If there are more than 256 colors used in the image than we should use the GIFquantize() routine to reduce the colormap.

GIFs are limited to 256 colors; therefore, photographs saved as GIFs will lose a wide range of detail.
Up to 256 colors simultaneously from a palette of over 16.

The images on this page have been digitally reduced to 256 colors and a reasonable quality of jpeg compression to speed downloading.
Dithering is a process similar to creating a mosaic; it emmulates your original colors by intermixing pixels from a 256 color palette.
GIFS are excellent for storing created images with 256 or fewer colors, especially if there are large regions of solid color and sharp borders between colors.
