That may be the problem. The way you optimized may be the problem
too. Try Optimized Octree for creating the palette and not any of
the other choices, especially not Standard Palette or Browser Palette.
If your image content is photographic or has gradients try using
Error Diffusion. Otherwise use Nearest Color. You will find all these
settings under File > Optimization Wizard > Customize button. On the
Optimizations tab leave Enable Browser-Specific Optimizations
unchecked.
