I am considering writing a custom tool that converts them to RGB palette on the fly, and back again.

4->3->4 color conversion is a BAD IDEA!! As the numbers demonstrate, you will LOSE information (even with ICC-based color conversion).

Doesn't matter for the OP's purpose (as he explained).

Of COURSE it matters!! How can you have color that doesn't matter?!?!?
