Map Making with Photoshop: Index color problem

[Apocolypse]

Hey guys, i know the map programs rely on painting your map with Index 8 bit color so that the programs will be able to create the maps, however i have noticed that when using photoshop in "index" color mode, the color swatch i choose and the color that end up coming out of my paint bucket are quite different resulting in a bad map later on. What can i do to fix this? my red are coming out as browns etc.

in the version of Dragon you are using, there are color templates for that version. Should give you the right hue or color

load the .aco file from dragon - but only that colors - at last use during index to only that custom color-table.
