It's been awhile, so I hesitate to jump in here, but…
First off, you could have used AniPro to convert the image to grayscale. Next,
you need to arrange your palette in luminance order so that the "colors" will
cycle logically. I suspect you can do this with Luma Sort. What I'd probably do
is a Luma Sort with Fit turned on, and then I'd ramp the entire palette to
create a smooth grayscale. Finally, I'd use Squeeze to get the palette down to
the number of frames you want for your animation (30?).
Now that your palette is ready, create 30 identical frames and RIGHT-click on
the [C] button to proceed with the color cycling. (See page 4-25 of the AniPro
Ref. Manual for stuff about color cycling. Don't miss the small paragraph
following the numbered steps.)
Caveat: I haven't tried out any of the above, so you might have to punt.
