Color map save it as a bmp then index it to 240 colors max with dither set at like 60% is a good.. size of map must be divisible by 256 pixels.

At the top, there should be a toolbar that says something (it might be mode, I'm not sure). When you open it, it gives you the option of RGB, Grayscale, Index, etc..., pick Index. A pop-up will open, and you should change the color count to 240.
When you save it, save it as a .bmp. It will bring up another pop-up, and 8-bit should be an option. Select it, and you now have a color map importable into Loathing.
(Sorry this wasn't better, I suck at tutorials)
