 From the manual:

In other words, Pipmak doesn't care what the colors in your hotspot  
map are. It will recognize the second color of the color palette as  
hotspot 1, and display it in red. It will recognize the third color of  
the palette as hotspot 2, and display it in green, etc.

If your image editor allows you to reorder your color palette (Gimp  
does), you can use that to fix your hotspot map.

If you want your hotspot map to look the same as what Pipmak displays,  
you can use the color palette of <http://pipmak.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pipmak/trunk/pipmak/extras/hotspot-palette.gif
