You're right about the /127, but it's not quite 127, it's 127.000060558 - and I believe that makes a difference. You could try it and see I guess...

There was a discussion elsewhere on here, but if you break the multiply down, you get:
```
x*0b100000010000001 =
  x*0b100000000000000 +
  x*0b000000010000000 +
  x*0b000000000000001 =
  x << 14 +
  x << 7 +
  x
```
If you assume that the 3 bits you want are as follows:
```
x = R0000000G0000000B0000000
```
Then when you do that multiply you get:
```
R0000000G0000000B000000000000000000000 +
0000000R0000000G0000000B00000000000000 +
00000000000000R0000000G0000000B0000000

= R000000RG00000RGB00000GB000000B0000000
```
And then when you shift it down and & with 7 you get:
```
= R000000RG00000RGB & 7
= RGB
```
Anyway, it's a bit of a nasty hack. Precalculating so as to avoid having to do that would be much better :)
