Optimal Bitmap format for PNG

Every PNG in an app will be transcoded to TXI, I would think for faster access. I found out, that color gradients will not properly displayed, so I tested some other PNG formats than PNG-24 (full RGB).
I've got the best results using a PNG with indexed colors (PNG-8) and a palette of max. 32 entries and dithering.
@JonFitbit: Do you use color reduction for your TXI format? What's your perefered image format for the origin PNG?

Are you able to provide some same images which have issues? I've not personally had any issues with 24bit png's.

I have posted my results in the discoord chat, but here you can see the difference: left is original 24-PNG and on the right there is the screenshot from the test app, which included it as a fullscreen background image:

On the right side you can see lines in the gradient, which indicates some color reduction.
