I didn't think the OP was confused so much as confusing. It is not 
normal to mix number of bits and number of colours as he did, but his 
question is clear (once you read it a second time): "How does one switch 
from 16-bit to 8-bit colours, and have the new setting stick?"

I'm only sorry I couldn't help by answering the question, but perhaps 
now you can ;).
