nes palette in a rgb colourspace

I created this picture from a GrafX2 (software-libre clone of DeluxePaint, strongly recomended) Lua script, which i hope can help people on figure out the NES palette in a RGB colourspace. The NES palette is there in the picture (it's indexed), which can be saved as .pal file from GrafX2, and used from there as well.
