Title: NeXT 12-bit Color Pallete?

(Am very new to this forum, apologies if this isn't the best place to post this.)
How would I go about finding a NeXT-compatible color pallete for GIMP/Photoshop?
My initial idea was emulate a NeXTstation color in previous, then capture every one of the 4096 colors via the color finder. This would assist in making new images in higher bit-depths compatible with real black hardware.
In other words, does anyone have the full 4096 colors that could be displayed by the real hardware in RGB or HEX/HTML, or a way I could find them? There does exist a GIMP plugin (https://github.com/steelwil/gimp-plugin-palette-changer), but it doesn't support dithering, nor does it support seeing the actual RGB values.
