Actually, that's not entirely true:

You can create icons of any custom 16 colors and have them display properly
if the monitor is set to display greater than 256 colors.  If the monitor is
set to display 256 colors or less, the colors of the icon will get remapped
to the closest matching colors in the minimal Windows palette.
