They were 8-bit colours, probably '8bit Truecolour', so 3bits Red, 3bits
Green, 2bits Blue.
I'm not aware of a simple/accurate method to convert from 8bit to 32bit (24bit
Truecolour). You could try plugging the 8bit values into an application like
Gimp and see what the equivalent 32bit hex code is.
