Saving a bitmap into 16 colors

I'm finishing up an app that nicely let's me create bitmap images I use
for buttons on my websites. One of the last things I have yet to come
across is how to get a new TBitMap image saved in 16 colors (thus making
it a lot smaller)? On the same tolken, how do I limit the TColorDlg
downto 16 colors?

Thanks in advance!

To get the bitmap in 16 colors, see the GetDiBits() function.
