Are you sure this is a proper fix?

This is the cube that is drawn:

   { -10., -10., -10., 0., 0., 72 },
   { -10.,  10., -10., 0., 0., 80 },
   {  10.,  10., -10., 0., 0., 95 },
   {  10., -10., -10., 0., 0., 88 },
   { -10., -10.,  10., 0., 0., 72 },
   { -10.,  10.,  10., 0., 0., 80 },
   {  10.,  10.,  10., 0., 0., 95 },
   {  10., -10.,  10., 0., 0., 88 }

According to the documentation, POLYTYPE_GCOL will use palette entries
interpolated by the vertex colors. So never should a color outside
72..95 be used. I'd actually set all other palette colors to weird
values, or maybe to bright pink, to demonstrate this to users - instead
of setting them to black.. right now, this example is confusing, since
everyone will ask "why do they set the unused palette colors? i must be
missing something, i should re-read the docs.. hmm.."
