4 and 8 bit icon color question

I have been given a corporate logo to use as the basis of an icon. It's colors do not match the ones in the resource editor's palette for 4 and 8 bit icons however I have been able to import my own palette. Suppose my application is run on a host that only supports 256 colors. I understand from various other posts that the host will probably choose my 4 bit icon so that its colors and colors of other screen elements can all be simultaneously displayed. But suppose also that my corporate logo colors are unusual enough that more than 256 colors are needed to display everything on the screen. What happens? Also, what happens in a very old system that only supports 16 colors?
