The way I do it involves creating two palettes, one with the 64 R/B/Y colours as their perfect RGB equivalents (“R” = 100% magenta = blue 255, green 0, red 255; R2B = 25% magenta, 100% cyan = red 191, green 0, blue 255; etc.), and one with my custom colours (which I've generated using the same process as in the first tutorial) -- both palettes must have all the colours in the same order!

(see: Daily Deviation) Woohoo! An honour, an accolade, a celebration of my stupendousness and unassailable superlativity! Thanks to everyone who came and looked around, double thanks for the all the favourites, and a third helping of thanks to those of you who took the time to comment.
