Dawnbringer stopped by the pixeljoint thread and has been giving me some pointers (one of which was to even out the green ramp like you mentioned). Here's the current iteration. I think it might be approaching a point where it's ready for primetime:
I took some pointers from Hapiel over on a pixeljoint thread and have evolved the palette into this (you can see the intermediate step there):
The original was too much, even for the bright, saturated look I was going for, so I toned down the saturation a bit and (at Hapiel's suggestion) I tried some palette remaps of existing images.
Here it is with an update based on the analysis you posted. That's a pretty sweet tool for finding and merging close colors, so I was able to add a bit more variety to the palette without losing too much.
All the darkest colours have very similar intensities which results in them being barely distinguishable and reduces their value for varied detailing of shadowed areas.
Thanks for the heads up. That wouldn't have occurred to me. It also looks like, in addition to those two off-whites being really similar, there's a dark brown and a dark purple that could probably be merged into one color, which would free up a second color for me to do whatever with. Any thoughts?
Also, just another little bit of inspiration as far as the kind of fun you could have with these songs, here's a disco remix of Also Sprach Zarathustra, from the Little Big Planet 2 soundtrack. Obviously this is copyrighted. :)
Hey, just a heads up, I tried going to your kickstarter link and it took me to the greenlight page. Definitely want to support this project. Did I miss the kickstarter window?

Wow, that's really impressive. Lens abberations and everything. Nice work! :)

It takes a good sense of color to come up with good gradients. This post is helpful and welcome here.

@Redshrike
I wasn't familiar with Faure, but I have to say he sounds a lot like Uematsu (or, more correctly, it sounds like he influenced Uematsu).
Links to his musical scores:

I thought of both of those songs, but I didn't know what they were called, so thank you for finding them. :)

@darkdreamdk: What happened here? You had five duplicate comments, each with about 50 lines of whitespeace.
