Assuming you're using colors outside of the 216 it's a BAD idea to
develop with your monitor at 216 colors: seems pretty obvious to make
it look best at 24 bit and make sure it looks acceptable at lower
bitdepths: besides, it doesn't make sense to be designing in that
your monitor can't show.

Well, a few times recently I decided to change the exact color I
wanted because two of them were resolving to the same color at 216.

If you're going outside of the wen 216, it's easier to come up with
related colors that look good together by use the palettes where you
can change hue and saturation.
