Oh, I see, you were stuck on "custom".That's just a saved set of colours from the last image you opened, or the last image you saved, or something like that, I forget. Wouldn't have contained any of the exact colours used in the background of the new image, so that's why it ended up dithered.
By the way I recommend the built-in online help, it's very good.

So what does 'perceptual' mean?

Perceptual
Creates a custom palette by giving priority to colors for which the human eye has greater sensitivity.
Selective
Creates a color table similar to the Perceptual color table, but favoring broad areas of color and the preservation of Web colors. This option usually produces images with the greatest color integrity.
Adaptive
Creates a palette by sampling the colors from the spectrum appearing most commonly in the image. For example, an RGB image with only the colors green and blue produces a palette made primarily of greens and blues. Most images concentrate colors in particular areas of the spectrum. To control a palette more precisely, first select a part of the image containing the colors you want to emphasize. Photoshop weights the conversion toward these colors.

Hmm, I might have been completely wrong about custom, it says it's the same as adaptive. Meh. I always use perceptual. Unless I edit the colour table, which makes it into custom.

I'll probably just stick with perceptualuntil the next time something goes wrong and I'm forced to try stuff out.
