The global option is:
[x11drv]
; Color depth to use on multi-depth screens
;;"ScreenDepth" = "16"

I guess that's in bits, so you need "ScreenDepth" = "8"

According to this Wine traffic document:
http://www.kerneltraffic.org/wine/wn20030919_188.html#2
it's _not_ a per app option. So all programs will run at that screen depth.
