gif optimizing

this ones driving me mad. i make a lot of gif images, if they are too large, i reduce the colours then they are fine..i have one gif thats massive, but when i reduce the colours, it looks fine until i upload it, then it has a pink pixellated mist all over it. i have reduced colours in many a gif before in a file this size and this has never happened? so if i cant reduce the colours and i dont want a tiny picture, how can i reduce the file size without this pink bleedin mist? thanks.

    Difficult to say without seeing the original image. Post a link to the original or PM me a link with your final pixel and file size requirements.
