indexed colours

[salaam]

Hi, please have a look at my latest project. I created a revolving car in X3D6 and Adobe (and the menu in MenuMaker and Adobe). As you will see when you place the pointer over the headlamp, the image turns light blue (unwanted). It done this only when it had to be optimized to become an animated GIF in Adobe. I assume it is matching the indexed colours of the revolving car. I tried increasing the revolving car colours (in X3D6) but this didn't fix the problem. If anyone can advise me on getting rid of the colour change, I will be very grateful. Maybe I could just leave it as it is.
Also please advise me on the rest of the page. My client wants it to be colourful, so this is it but I'm not happy with it although I don't know why.

Why not just do the entire thing in Photoshop? It shouldn't be that hard. And you'd have more control over the entire banner. A simple rollover effect would be just fine, no need for animated gif here.
I find the background a bit distracting, though. And a unified color scheme for the page wouldn't hurt. Too colorful and you'd turn it to a carnival. Motion is nice, but overdoing animation is pretty distracting, and slows down the loading time for those with slow connections.

Thanks Grafixman, I've deleted the tyre tracks background, I think it looks much better. If I try to emulate the X3D6 on Adobe using the globe effect for the car path, I think that it would take me far too long. I don't think many punters will realise that the paintwork has changed colour. I'm not very good with colour schemes. So I always follow one taken from microsoft Publisher, as you can see a the base of the page.
