Color range replacement effect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Unfortunately it seems as if the color replacement tool doesn't work together 
with the mask effect, which got me thinking if there might be a better way of 
replacing colors all together.

How about an effect where you can select two color ranges on the palette, 
from and to, so that you could easily change the color of a shaded area? That 
way you could brush on a different color to an area and still keep the 
shading. It'd save tons of time if you change your mind a bit too late in a 
project.

A bit too late I realize you can do this with the shade tool. Never mind!

2nd method, probably easier than Shade: X-Shade. If both ranges are separated 
by 16,
configure a step of 16. Then when you paint on your image, it performs a +16 
with one
mouse button and -16 with the other. (It's up to you to paint on the right 
pixels)
Use "No saturation" and "Feedback:Off" preferably, to avoid mistakes when you 
paint
the same pixel several times.

3rd method, that doesn't require changing any settings, and affects all screen:
In Palette screen, select one of the ranges, and Swap it with the other, then 
X-Swap
it back. (Or X-Swap then Swap, same result)
The palette ends up unchanged, and in the picture, the ranges are inverted.
This procedure can be repeated anytime to revert the swap.
