I looked at the reference, but don't see how this would work. Seems like 
I would have to first translate the geotiff to an RGB, but even then I 
don't see how the pct option would let me do an arbitrary mapping of 
colors. Wouldn't the underlying algorithm look for a best match against 
the palette?
