You save your bitmap as 16 colour indexed.

This type has a palette of 16 16bit RGB entries, and each pixel is represented by a index into the palette. In most paint packages you can create this type by selected Indexed Colour and reducing the colours to 16.

I doubt you could do what you need to do in paint. Download this and have a play. http://www.gimp.org/

If you can't figure it out, I will get it myself and try to guide you through it. I might have already made a tutorial for doing this on The Gimp, so I'll have to try and find it.

You can create 16 colour bitmaps in MSPaint. When you save your image, on the file dialog change the drop down to '16 Colour Bitmap'.
