Get Color from Byte for 256 color image

I have a custom image format (not mine, I am trying to reverse engineer it) that I am parsing. The images are stored in 256 color, the color for any given pixel is represented by a single byte. How can I convert that byte to a color? My guess is it uses some sort of standard pallet, but I wasn't sure how to access a standard 256 color pallet in c# to look up colors. No pallet or other information is included in the image; all the images are the same dimension and all use the same mysterious pallet.

Kind of like Get Color from int, but not gray scale.

The BitmapPalettes class provides some standard color palettes. Perhaps WebPalette could be worth a try:

Color c = BitmapPalettes.WebPalette.Colors[colorIndex];
