I had discussed using spot color channels in order to add vivid and
bright additions of color in cases where my three-color gums were
using a muted pallete.  It works, but couldn't help but think that it
would be easier to just hand-color the images.

I'm not sure why indexed-color would give you an advantage with opaque
colors.  Did you try it?
