When using CreateDIBSection() with DIB_PAL_COLORS, the GDI will use the
color indices in the bmiColors to populate the color table of the DIB
section by resolving the indices to the RGB values from the palette
selected into the device context passed into CreateDIBSection().
Consequently, after a program calls CreateDIBSection(), the color table
will contain RGB values rather than palette indices. Specifying
DIB_PAL_COLORS affects only how the color table is initialized, not how it
is subsequently used.
